Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoon Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
• 8 ounce Dark chocolate
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable shortening

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, softened butter, sweetened condensed milk, and peppermint extract. Mix until well combined.
2. Shape the mixture into small patties and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Place the patties in the refrigerator and let them chill for about 1 hour.
4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and vegetable shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
5. Dip each chilled peppermint patty into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Use a fork to remove the coated patty from the chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
6. Place the coated patties back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them set at room temperature until the chocolate hardens.
7. Once the chocolate has hardened, the peppermint patties are ready to be enjoyed!
