Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a stand mixer, combine sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed for about 1-2 minutes until well blended and smooth.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, about a cup at a time, while the mixer is on low speed. Continue to mix for about 3-5 minutes until a pliable dough forms.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of powdered sugar on a clean surface or parchment paper. Turn out the dough onto the sugared surface and knead it gently.
- Roll the dough out with a rolling pin to a thickness of about ½ inch.
- Cut out circles from the rolled dough using a cookie cutter or round glass.
- Place the baking sheet with the cut circles into the freezer and freeze for about 15 minutes.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, break up dark chocolate into smaller pieces and melt in the microwave in 30-second increments.
- Dip the chilled peppermint patties into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Place the baking sheet back in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
- After the chocolate has set, serve the peppermint patties or store them in an airtight container.
