Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Peppermint extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Shortening (or coconut oil)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and peppermint extract. Mix until a thick dough-like consistency forms. You may use a mixer or your hands for this step.
Roll the peppermint mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Flatten each ball into a disc shape using the bottom of a glass or your fingers. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up the discs.
While the peppermint filling firms up, melt the chocolate chips and shortening in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler, or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each peppermint disc into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated disc back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Allow the peppermint patties to set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Once set, transfer the patties to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy your homemade 'York-a-Like' Peppermint Patties!
