CREAMY PEPPERMINT OR COCONUT PATTIES



Creamy Peppermint or Coconut Patties image

This is such a wonderful tasting candy. The recipe comes from an elementary school cookbook. The original recipe called for using peppermint extract as the flavoring. I have found that it is equally good using coconut extract to flavor it with.
