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.
