Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ¼ teaspoons peppermint extract
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting
- 2 cups dark melting/dipping chocolate
Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, blend sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract. Gradually incorporate half the powdered sugar until a dough forms.
- Sprinkle powdered sugar on parchment paper and knead the dough briefly. Roll out to a ½-inch thickness, adding more powdered sugar as needed to prevent sticking.
- Cut out circles using a cookie cutter or small glass. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.
- Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Dip each patty into the melted chocolate using a fork, coating both sides. Return to the baking sheet and add sprinkles if desired. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes to set.
