Peppermint Patty Recipe
Peppermint Patties are cool, sweet and very refreshing. They have a soft mint center with a smooth chocolate coat. You can make them at home with simple steps and easy ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 3 tablespoons condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 cup melted chocolate
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil optional
Instructions
Make the Mint Dough
- Mix powdered sugar, butter and condensed milk until a soft dough forms. Add peppermint extract and mix again.
Shape the Patties
- Roll the dough into small balls. Flatten each ball gently to form small round patties.
Chill the Patties
- Place patties on a baking sheet. Chill them for twenty minutes so they become firm.
Melt the Chocolate
- Heat chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for short intervals. Stir until smooth and fully melted.
Add Coconut Oil
- Mix a little coconut oil into the chocolate. This makes the coating glossy and easy to dip.
Dip the Patties
- Use a fork to dip each patty into the melted chocolate. Coat evenly and shake off excess chocolate.
Place on Sheet
- Place dipped patties back on parchment paper. Work slowly so the shape stays neat and round.
Chill Again
- Chill the patties in the fridge. Let the chocolate harden completely for a smooth and firm shell.
Check the Texture
- Press a patty gently. The center should feel soft and the outside firm and shiny.
Serve Fresh
- Serve the patties cold or at room temperature. Enjoy the cool mint and sweet chocolate flavor.
Notes
- Use good chocolate for better flavor.
- Do not skip chilling steps.
- Add more peppermint for stronger taste.
- Keep your hands cold while shaping patties.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
