Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups Powdered Sugar Plus more for dusting
- 0.25 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 2 teaspoons Peppermint Extract
- 12 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, combine the powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and peppermint extract. Mix until a dough forms.
- Dust a clean surface with powdered sugar. Roll the dough out to about 0.25 inch thickness.
- Use a small cookie cutter (about 1.5 inches) to cut out patties. Place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Dip each patty into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Place the dipped patties back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the chocolate-covered patties for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Enjoy your homemade peppermint patties! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. You can also add a pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture to enhance the sweetness.
