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
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, and softened butter.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill the peppermint discs for at least 20 minutes or until they are firm.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or speed up the process by transferring the baking sheet to the refrigerator.
Step 8
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.
