EZ Peppermint Patties

These are SOOO good.  Better then YORK Patties you can buy at the store!

  • 1 lb powdered sugar
  • 3 Tbs butter
  • 2 or 3 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 evaporated milk
  • 2 cups chocolate chips  (Nestles seems to work better then Hershey for some reason)
  • 2 Tbs Crisco

In a bowl combine powdered sugar, butter, peppermint, and vanilla.  Add the milk and mix well.  Mixture will seem kind of thick.  Thats ok! 

Line a big cookie sheet with wax paper.

Roll the mixture into abt 1 inch balls and place on wax paper.   Chill for 15-20 minutes.  Using a glass or bowl bottom, flatten out the balls, and then chill for another 25-30 minutes. 

In a pan or microwave melt the chocolate chips and shortening.  Mix well.    Dip your chilled patties one at a time into the chocolate mixture and return them to the wax paper.  Chill for about an hour or until the chocolate sets.

Enjoy!

  1. My daughter and her friend made a double batch of these this past weekend. I just dipped them in dark chocolate for one batch and milk chocolate for the hubs for the second batch. Been 3 days and there are less than 2 dozen left. They are a HUGE hit. Best kept in the freezer. Better than sex...Just sayin'. ;-)
