Peppermint Candy

I’ve got some peppermint extract recently and have been wanting to try it in a candy. I saw a recipe for hard candy, but it takes corn syrup, which I don’t have. Then I found some soft mint recipes but they take powdered sugar, which I also don’t have:) Then I found that the original butter mint candy can be made with sugar, butter, and sometimes water; it’s made kind of like taffy’s with the extract added in at the end. I’ve found several recipes and am not sure which one I should try. I’m attatching two recipes from a cookbook, and I’d just like to know which one would be creamy and melt in your mouth, as well as more foolproof towards warm weather and humidity. Im thinking the second one might yield a creamier candy since there is butter directly in the candy, but I really don’t know. So basically, if anyone has a favorite recipe for mint candies, or any helpful suggestions, please sharpe!
