Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 3.25 cup powdered sugar
  • 2.5 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tbsp light corn syrup
  • 1.25 tsp peppermint extract
  • 0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 0.13 tsp kosher salt
  • 12 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tbsp refined coconut oil or a spoonful of shortening

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment and clear space in the fridge.
  • Beat condensed milk, butter, corn syrup, peppermint, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy.
  • Mix in powdered sugar gradually, then knead briefly until a soft, non-sticky dough forms.
  • Scoop 1-tbsp portions, roll into balls, and flatten into 1/4-inch disks on the prepared sheet.
  • Chill the peppermint disks until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Melt chocolate with coconut oil in 30-second microwave bursts, stirring until glossy and smooth.
  • Dip each peppermint disk in chocolate, let excess drip off, and return to the sheet.
  • Chill until the chocolate sets, about 10 minutes, then serve or store.

Notes

For a festive finish, sprinkle crushed candy canes on top before the chocolate sets. Prefer a thinner mint? Press the centers a bit flatter and use dark chocolate for a bolder bite. Store patties airtight in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 2 months.
