INGREDIENTS:
- 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 pound chocolate almond bark
- Sprinkles (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a large bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk and peppermint extract.
- Using an electric mixer, slowly incorporate the powdered sugar into the mixture. Aim for a stiff dough that is not sticky.
- Once the dough is formed, roll it into balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Gently flatten the balls into a thick disc shape.
- Place the tray into the freezer and let the patties freeze for about an hour.
- When ready to dip, melt the almond bark in 30-second intervals in the microwave until it is completely melted and smooth.
- Working quickly, dip the peppermint patties into the melted chocolate. Shake off any excess chocolate or scrape it off the bottom on the side of the bowl.
- Place the dipped patties back onto the parchment paper and immediately top with sprinkles if desired.
- For best results, keep the peppermint patties in the fridge until serving to ensure they stay nice and firm.
