Ingredients
2cupsPowdered Sugar
1tablespoonButter, softened
¼teaspoonPeppermint Extract
2tablespoonsEvaporated Milk
12oz.Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips{1 bag}
Instructions
Combine first 4 ingredients (all but chocolate chips) in a mixing bowl and mix well, until softened.
Use a small ice cream scoop to roll into small, 1 inch balls. Place balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Put in fridge for 30 minutes (or freezer for 15).
Remove from 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 bowl large enough to dip the patties, put the chocolate chips in the microwave for 90 seconds. Remove from the microwave and stir, 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.
Refrigerate for 1 hour, then serve!
Storage Tip: Store your finished peppermint patties covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
Prep Ahead Tip: Store peppermint patties in the freezer in layers, with a piece of parchment paper between each layer, in a freezer ziploc bag or airtight container for up to 1 month.
