How to make sure your Tic Tac dissolves

Someone left a comment on a previous post about using Tic Tacs to make mint ice cream only to realise that Tic Tacs do not dissolve too well when mixed into a hot ice cream custard.

Well, Tic Tacs, after all, are pretty hard candy. To make sure they dissolve completely, I suggest breaking them into finer pieces first. You can do this by putting them in a durable plastic bag and go after them with something heavy. Such as a rolling pin.

Or else, you can put them in the microwave on high heat for 10 to 20 seconds. When super heated, Tic Tacs will be easier to melt when stirred into a hot custard.
