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.
