Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Peppermint extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cups Dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil or shortening
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, and softened butter.
Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to mix until the ingredients come together into a smooth and slightly stiff dough.
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Flatten each ball gently into a disc shape and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill the peppermint discs for at least 20 minutes or until they are firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil or shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Using a fork or dipping tool, individually coat each chilled peppermint disc in the melted chocolate. Tap off any excess chocolate and carefully place the coated patties back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or speed up the process by transferring the baking sheet to the refrigerator.
Once the chocolate is firm, transfer the peppermint patties to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator or at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
