Step-by-Step Instructions for Homemade Peppermint Patties
- In a stand mixer, combine 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix on low until combined, adding half of the powdered sugar until thick dough forms (2-3 minutes).
- Turn mixture onto a floured surface, knead in remaining powdered sugar until dough is firm and not sticky (3-5 minutes). Roll to ½-inch thickness.
- Cut circles from the rolled dough using a cookie cutter. If soft, chill in the freezer for 15 minutes. Place cutouts on parchment.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up the shapes.
- Melt 8 ounces of dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring frequently. Let cool slightly before dipping.
- Dip each patty into melted chocolate using a fork, ensuring full coating. Allow excess to drip off before placing on parchment.
- Refrigerate dipped patties for about 20 minutes to set chocolate coating.
