Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cups Sweetened condensed milk
• 1.5 teaspoons Peppermint extract
• 10 ounces Dark chocolate chips or chunks
• 1 tablespoons Coconut oil (or vegetable shortening)

Directions

Step 1

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and peppermint extract.

Step 2

2. Mix the ingredients together until a thick dough forms. If the mixture is sticky, add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it becomes smooth and easy to handle.

Step 3

3. Dust a clean surface with powdered sugar and roll the peppermint dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Step 4

4. Use a small round cookie cutter (approximately 1-1.5 inches in diameter) to cut out circles from the dough. Place the circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 5

5. Once all the circles are cut, transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill for at least 15 minutes to firm up the patties.

Step 6

6. While the patties chill, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each increment, until smooth and glossy.

Step 7

7. Remove the peppermint patties from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each patty into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Gently tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.

Step 8

8. Place the chocolate-covered patties back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and let them set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens.

Step 9

9. Once the chocolate is fully set, store the peppermint patties in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to two weeks. Enjoy!
