Five Ingredient Mint Chocolate Candy - Show Me the Yummy image

This is five ingredient mint chocolate candy. Chocolate that crunches slightly when you bite into it, filled with creamy, sweet, sugary, minty perfection!

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (2 pound) bag powdered sugar
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter (melted)
Mint and/or peppermint extract (to taste (I used 1/2 - 1 teaspoon))
Food coloring (I used both red and green)
Milk chocolate of choice (melted (I used Hershey's Kisses))

Steps:

  • Mix together the powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and melted butter. The mixture will be thick. After the dough comes together, I actually like using my hands to continue to knead the dough in the bowl or in my hands (it's too sticky for the counter) until the dough becomes shiny and almost gummy-like.
  • If you want to use both mint extract and peppermint extract, divide the powdered sugar, milk, and butter mixture into two bowls. Then add mint extract to one, and the peppermint to another. Mix until the flavoring has been fully incorporated. I start with 1/4 teaspoon of the extract and add from there, if necessary! I ended up using about 1/2 teaspoon - 1 teaspoon. You can also add food coloring, too! I use green for the mint mints (ha!) and red for the peppermint flavored mints! Feel free again, to mix this with your hands in the bowl...it's much easier than trying to use a spoon. Be careful with how much you mix, because the heat from your hands can make it overly sticky.
  • Scoop or roll into balls, place on a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper, and freeze until hard. As always, I used my cookie scoop, but feel free to roll freehanded, too! After they've hardened, dip in melted chocolate and refreeze until the chocolate has hardened. Store in plastic baggies in the freezer.
