Description

Delight in these Indulgent Peppermint Patties, a no-bake treat perfect for the holidays or any time you crave a refreshing, creamy peppermint center encased in rich dark chocolate. These easy-to-make patties combine the smoothness of sweetened condensed milk with the bright flavor of peppermint extract, thickened with powdered sugar, then dipped in silky chocolate for a festive, delicious dessert that requires no oven time.


Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Coating

  • 8 ounces dark or semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening
  • sprinkles (optional, for decoration)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and pure peppermint extract. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly until the mixture becomes firm and pliable enough to form into shapes.
  2. Shape the patties: Once the filling is ready, shape it into small, round patties about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Melt the chocolate coating: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dark or semi-sweet chocolate along with the coconut oil or shortening, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  4. Dip the patties: Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each chilled patty fully in the melted chocolate. Place the dipped patties back on the parchment-lined sheet.
  5. Add sprinkles and chill: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your festive decorations over the patties if desired. Refrigerate the patties until the chocolate is set, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  6. Serve and store: Once set, serve the patties immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • Use good-quality chocolate for the best flavor and smooth coating.
  • If the chocolate coating is too thick, add an extra teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it out.
  • Make sure the patties are well chilled before dipping to avoid melting the chocolate from contact.
  • For a stronger peppermint flavor, add an additional 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract.
  • These patties can be stored in the freezer for longer preservation.
