Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup dark chocolate Candy Melts
- Sprinkles if desired
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, blend together the sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract and powdered sugar. Add the food coloring at this step if you desire a color. Mix at a medium speed for 2-3 minutes or until mixture is smooth with no lumps. Dough will be stiff and form patties, but not dry and crumbly.
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough into approximately 28 1-inch balls. Flatten each with the palm of your hand to make the filling for patties. Allow them to dry at room temperature for at least 2 hours, flipping once.
- Right before melting the chocolate place the peppermint pattie in the refrigerator or freezer for 15-20 minutes. Them being cold will help the chocolate grab and set.
- Melt the chocolate in double boiler. Dip the patties into the chocolate, tapping on the side to get excess off. Place them onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet to cool. If you desire sprinkles, add them now. Place in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to set.
