Time 20m

Yield 3 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1-1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
4 to 4-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons shortening

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine milk and extract. Stir in 3-1/2 to 4 cups confectioners' sugar to form a stiff dough. Turn onto a surface sprinkled lightly with confectioners' sugar. Knead in enough remaining sugar to form a dough that is very stiff and no longer sticky. Shape into 1-in. balls. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Flatten into 1-1/2-in. circles. Let dry 1 hour. Turn and let dry 1 hour longer. Melt chocolate chips and shortening in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl; cool slightly. Dip patties in chocolate mixture and place on waxed paper to harden.

I'm not a huge fan of peppermint, but these candies were still really good. The chocolate is rich and creamy, and the peppermint flavor is subtle but noticeable.

These candies were so easy to make and they turned out perfect! I used dark chocolate and peppermint extract, and they were the perfect balance of sweet and minty.
