Description
Delicious peppermint chocolate patties that are perfect for the holidays!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 10 ounces dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening
- 2 tablespoons crushed peppermint candies (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and peppermint extract. Beat until a thick, smooth dough forms.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls, flatten into disks, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
- Using a fork, dip each frozen peppermint disk into the melted chocolate. Tap off excess and place back on parchment.
- Optionally, sprinkle with crushed peppermint while chocolate is still wet. Allow patties to set at room temperature or in the fridge.
Notes
- These treats can be stored in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life.
- Feel free to customize the toppings or use milk chocolate instead of dark for a sweeter taste.
