- Use store bought or homemade peppermint candies.
- Use store bought or homemade icing.
- Apply the icing layer thick enough where the peppermint patties can “stick” into it.
- Use M&Ms and smaller chocolate cookies in place of the peppermint candies.
- Sweetened coconut can also be used, if preferred.
- You can make these cookies without coconut and use sprinkles, instead.
- Store at room temperature or fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
