guest post by frugal friend Carly ~ enjoy!

I honestly love York Peppermint Patties. They are my honest-to-gosh favorite candy.

When I made York Peppermint Patty Cupcakes, I thought I’d worn out my ability to work with them — simply because, let’s face it, they’re so good that they can’t possibly be replicated by my human hands (I’m convinced the real York Peppermint Patties are made by the elves from Santa’s workshop that were so talented, they got promoted).

I later realized that, not only were York Peppermint Patties my favorite candy, they were also a favorite of my best friend and boyfriend. How could I not take a crack at it?!

All in all, these things are pretty darn delicious. What’s up, Santa’s elves? Game on.

Do Peppermint Patties Have Milk?

Yes… these peppermint patties use evaporated milk to help make that dreamy, creamy filling. Trust me, you’ll never go back to store bought peppermint patties again!

Peppermint Patty Recipe Ingredients:

It takes just 5 simple ingredients to make the BEST Homemade Peppermint Patties!

Powdered Sugar
Butter
Peppermint Extract
Evaporated Milk
Chocolate Chips

How to Make Peppermint Patties:

Combine first 4 ingredients (all but chocolate chips) in a mixing bowl, and mix well. This peppermint patties recipe without condensed milk will be using evaporated milk instead for the perfect consistency.

Roll into small 1 inch balls, using a small ice cream scoop.

Place balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Transfer baking sheet to refrigerator for 30 minutes (or freezer for 15 minutes)

Then remove from refrigerator or freezer and use the back of a spatula (or your hand, if you must!) to flatten the balls into patties.

Put back in the fridge/freezer for 30 (or 15) minutes.

Melt chocolate chips in a medium mixing bowl. Microwave for 90 seconds, stir, and then put back in the microwave for 15 seconds and stir again.

If there are still hard chips, or the chocolate is getting too thick, add 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil and continue stirring.

Remove patties from fridge/freezer and use 2 spoons to place patties in the chocolate, one at a time.

Submerge the peppermint patty and cover with chocolate, then use one spoon to lift the patty and the other spoon to slide it off, onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
