You only need four simple, inexpensive ingredients to whip up these homemade Chocolate Peppermint Patties! This copycat recipe is so easy to follow and is even better than the ones you'll find in the candy aisle.

Number Of Ingredients 4

¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons peppermint extract
4 cups powdered sugar
24 ounces dark melting chocolate

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, 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 two to three 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.
