Ingredients
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
1 1/2 cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and peppermint extract until a thick dough forms. Add more powdered sugar if needed for consistency.
2. Roll dough into small balls and flatten into discs. Place on a parchment-lined tray and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
3. While chilling, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave or using a double boiler until smooth.
4. Dip each peppermint disc into the melted chocolate, let the excess drip off, and return to the tray.
5. Refrigerate patties until chocolate hardens, about 10 more minutes. Store chilled or frozen.
Notes
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking when dipping.
Adjust peppermint strength by adding more or less extract to taste.
Use white chocolate or drizzle over the tops for variation.
