Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine icing sugar, condensed milk, peppermint flavoring, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a stiff paste that holds together well.
- Check the texture of your peppermint mixture. If it feels too dry or crumbly, slowly add more water and mix until you achieve the desired consistency.
- Dust a clean surface and a rolling pin with icing sugar to prevent sticking. Use your rolling pin to roll out the peppermint paste to a thickness of about 0.5 cm.
- Once cut, place the rounds on a parchment-lined tray, giving each piece some space to breathe. Allow them to dry slightly for about 30 minutes.
- While the rounds are drying, melt the chocolate using a double boiler. Stir occasionally until it becomes velvety smooth.
- Transfer the melted chocolate into a piping bag and drizzle it over each peppermint round in a zig-zag pattern for decoration.
- Chill the decorated rounds in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
