Time 40m

Yield About 35 peppermint creams

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
4 ounces dark chocolate, broken into pieces

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together the sugar, condensed milk and extract until it forms a smooth, soft dough. Keep the dough covered in plastic wrap so it won't dry out.
  • Dust your board with powdered sugar and roll the dough out until it is about 1/8-inch thick. Cut into 1 1/2-inch rounds or other shapes, re-rolling the dough as needed.
  • Put the chocolate into a heatproof bowl and set it over a pot of simmering water to melt it. Alternately, put the bowl into the microwave and cook in 30 second intervals, stirring each time.
  • Dip the peppermint creams into the chocolate until they are half covered. Lay them onto a parchment or wax paper-covered baking sheet until set.
  • Store the creams between sheets of parchment or wax paper, dusted with powdered sugar, in an airtight container. They will keep for 2 to 3 days.
