Ingredients
- 6 cups powdered sugar
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk one can
- 3 teaspoons peppermint extract
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 20 ounces chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers, 2 bags
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional, for smoother coating
Instructions
- Line two (13×18-inch) baking sheets with wax paper or parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until a thick, smooth dough forms.
- To shape the patties, choose one of the following methods to create about 48 patties:
- Method 1 (By Hand): Scoop dough by tablespoonfuls. Roll into balls, then flatten into 1 ½-inch discs. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Method 2 (Rolled and Cut): Roll dough out between two sheets of wax paper or parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter (1 ½ to 2 inches) to cut out discs. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill the patties in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt 20 ounces chocolate chips or melting wafers with 1 tablespoon coconut oil (if using), stirring until smooth.
- Dip each peppermint disc into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Let excess chocolate drip off, then return to the lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes, or until chocolate is completely set.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
