Ingredients
  

For the Peppermint Filling
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons corn syrup
  • 2 teaspoons peppermint extract Adjust to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk As needed, until the mixture holds together
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 6 ounces dark chocolate Chopped
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil Optional, for smoother chocolate

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, corn syrup, and peppermint extract.
  2. Gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture holds together but isn’t too sticky.
Shaping the Patties
  1. On a clean surface, gently press the peppermint mixture into a flat layer, about ½ inch thick.
  2. Use a cookie cutter or a knife to cut out rounds or squares of your desired size.
Chill the Filling
  1. Place the shaped patties on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Melting the Chocolate
  1. While the patties are chilling, melt the chopped dark chocolate with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until completely smooth.
Coating the Patties
  1. Once the patties are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.
  2. Place the coated patties back onto the parchment-lined tray.
Final Chill
  1. Return the tray to the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes or until the chocolate coating has hardened.
Serve and Enjoy
  1. Your homemade peppermint patties are ready to delight your taste buds! Enjoy them yourself or gift them to loved ones.
