Ingredients You Need for Peppermint Patty

• 2 cups powdered sugar

• 3 tablespoons condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 1 cup melted chocolate
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

1. Make the Mint Dough

Mix powdered sugar, butter and condensed milk until a soft dough forms. Add peppermint extract and mix again.

2. Shape the Patties

Roll the dough into small balls. Flatten each ball gently to form small round patties.

4. Melt the Chocolate

Heat chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for short intervals. Stir until smooth and fully melted.

5. Add Coconut Oil

6. Dip the Patties

Use a fork to dip each patty into the melted chocolate. Coat evenly and shake off excess chocolate.

Chill the patties in the fridge. Let the chocolate harden completely for a smooth and firm shell.

FAQs About Peppermint Patty

1. Can I use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate?
Yes, dark chocolate works very well. It gives a rich and bold flavor that matches the mint perfectly. Many people prefer dark chocolate because it feels less sweet and more balanced with the cool filling.

2. Why is my dough too sticky?
Your dough may need more powdered sugar. Add small amounts until it becomes smooth. Sticky dough makes shaping difficult, so cooling your hands also helps. Make sure butter is soft, not melted.

3. Can I make these patties without condensed milk?
Yes, you can use cream or milk with extra powdered sugar. The texture might change slightly but still tastes great. Condensed milk gives the best creamy texture, but alternatives also work.

4. How strong should the peppermint flavor be?
The flavor depends on your liking. Start with a small amount. Add more slowly and taste the dough. Too much peppermint can feel harsh, but the right amount tastes cool and refreshing.

5. Can kids help make this recipe?
Yes, this recipe is kid-friendly. Kids can help shape the patties and place them on sheets. Adults should handle the chocolate melting. It becomes a fun family activity with sweet results.
