Ingredients
- ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 24 ounces dark melting chocolate
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, beat together the sweetened condensed milk, extract, and half of the powdered sugar.
- Once it becomes a paste, add in the remaining powdered sugar. Continue beating together until it is no longer wet. It will thicken and become a stiff dough. It should be completely dry without being sticky.
- Spoon a tablespoon of filling and roll into a ball. Place each ball onto parchment paper, and then press down to shape into a round patty, about ¼-inch in thickness.
- Allow the patties to sit at room temperature to dry out, for 2-3 hours.
- Once the patties are done drying, in a medium bowl, microwave half of the dark chocolate for about 90 seconds. Stir the chocolate until it is smooth and creamy. If the chocolate is not completely melted, return the bowl to the microwave and add an additional 30 seconds as needed.
- Using a fork, dip the patties, one at a time, into the melted chocolate, completely covering each piece. Gently return the dipped patty to the parchment paper until the chocolate sets. Repeat with remaining patties and chocolate.
