It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

With just a few simple ingredients, you can create these delightful little mints in any flavor or color. So have fun and enjoy making your own batch of buttery butter mints.

1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons hot water
1 tablespoon imitation butter flavor or oil-based flavoring
food coloring as desired
1 pound powdered sugar
In a bowl, mix together the melted butter, hot water, flavoring, and food color. While stirring, add the powdered sugar and mix well until it forms a dough.
Roll out the dough into ropes and cut into 1/2-inch mints. Or, press into molds.
When the mints have hardened, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
