Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ¼ teaspoons peppermint extract
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups dark melting/dipping chocolate
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, combine sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix in half of the powdered sugar until a dough forms; then add the remaining powdered sugar.
- Knead the dough lightly on powdered sugar-dusted parchment paper and roll it out to about ½-inch thick.
- Cut out circles using a cookie cutter and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15 minutes.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between. Allow cooling slightly before dipping each patty.
- Coat each peppermint patty thoroughly in melted chocolate and return to the baking sheet. Optionally sprinkle with toppings while the chocolate is still wet. Chill until set.
