Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ¼ teaspoons peppermint extract
- â…› teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups dark melting chocolate
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, combine sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract. Gradually add half the powdered sugar until a dough forms.
- Sprinkle powdered sugar on parchment paper and knead the dough. Roll into a ½-inch thick circle, dusting with more powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
- Cut circles using a cookie cutter or glass. If too warm, freeze for 15 minutes before cutting. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for another 15 minutes.
- Melt dark chocolate in intervals in the microwave, stirring to avoid burning. Let cool slightly.
- Dip each patty into melted chocolate with a fork, coating both sides, then place back on the parchment-lined sheet. Add sprinkles if desired. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
