Homemade Mints

[jennythereader]

I found this blog post a few weeks ago, and have been thinking about when I should try it for myself. This weekend it occurred to me that this might be a good project for kids, and since I'm going to be spending all of next week in Florida with Tom's siblings and their kids, I should bring the ingredients down with me and see if the small ones are interested in making their own candy some evening or rainy afternoon.

I'm going to bring mint flavoring, but I'm not sure what other flavors would be popular. Any suggestions?
