Categories     Candies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 c real butter (softened)
1/2 c light corn syrup
4 c confectioners' sugar (divided)
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
1-?? drops of food coloring of choice (amount depends on how much you want)
1 c grandulated sugar

Steps:

  • 1. In a small mixing bowl combine butter and corn syrup. Add 2 c. confectioners' sugar and extract; beat well. Stir in 1 c. confectioners' sugar. Turn out on a work surface sprinkled with confectioners' sugar; knead until sugar is absorbed and smooth.
  • 2. Divide the candy dough into as many different colors that you desire. Add 2 drops of the desired color and work into the dough. Shape into 3/4" balls; roll in grandulated sugar. Flatten with a fork. If you are using a candy mold, follow the same steps, except you will press gently into the mold after rolling in sugar and you will not press with the fork.
  • 3. Let stand, uncovered at room temp for 1 day. Store in an airtight container. You can also separate the mixture and add the separate flavors and food coloring...i.e. red for peppermint...green for spearmint. Or if you prefer one flavor..you can still separate so you can have an array of colors. Next we rolled them in a long tubular shape and rolled waxpaper around the tube..then refrigerated until chilled and cut using bakers string or a slim sharp knife.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The chocolate is the star of the show in mint patties, so it's important to use a high-quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. A good semisweet or dark chocolate will work well.
  • Temper the chocolate: Tempering the chocolate will help it to set up smoothly and give it a glossy finish. To temper chocolate, heat it over a double boiler or in the microwave until it reaches 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, remove it from the heat and stir it until it cools to 88 degrees Fahrenheit. Finally, reheat it to 92 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Chill the patties before dipping them in chocolate: This will help the chocolate to set up more quickly and prevent it from getting too melty.
  • Use a variety of toppings: You can use any type of topping you like on your mint patties. Some popular options include crushed peppermint, chopped nuts, and sprinkles.
  • Store the patties in a cool, dry place: Mint patties can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Mint patties are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create your own homemade mint patties that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these party mint patties a try.
