Let stand, uncovered, about 4 hours r overnight until mints are firm and outside is dry, but inside is still moist and creamy. I found that I had to freeze them for about 10 minutes when I used molds to get them to pop out. I did not have luck getting them out of plastic sheet molds unless they were round (medallions or strawberries).
