# Ingredients:
→ Dough
01 -
1 cup powdered sugar
02 -
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
03 -
1 tablespoon corn syrup
04 -
1 teaspoon salt
05 -
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
→ Coating
06 -
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
07 -
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)
# Directions:
01 -
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix well using a whisk to break up any clumps.
02 -
Add the corn syrup, salt, and peppermint extract to the bowl. Stir until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency. If it's too sticky, you can add a bit more powdered sugar.
03 -
Lightly dust your work surface with powdered sugar. Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead it gently for a minute until smooth and pliable.
04 -
Divide the dough into small portions, roll each portion into a ball, and flatten each ball into a disc shape approximately 1/4 inch thick. Repeat until all the dough is formed into discs.
05 -
Place the discs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze them for about 30 minutes to firm up.
06 -
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. If using coconut oil, add it when the chocolate is almost melted for a smoother consistency.
07 -
Remove the chilled peppermint patties from the freezer. Dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
08 -
Place the coated patties on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle crushed peppermint on top for decoration before the chocolate sets. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
09 -
Once set, enjoy your peppermint patties! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for freshness.
