    Candy: Chocolate Covered Peppermint Patties

    Source of Recipe

    allrecipes.com

    List of Ingredients

    1 cup mashed potatoes
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons melted butter
    2 teaspoons peppermint extract
    8 cups confectioners' sugar
    8 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
    2 tablespoons shortening 

    Recipe

    1 In a large bowl, mix together the potatoes, salt, butter, and peppermint extract. Gradually mix in confectioners' sugar; mix in enough to make a workable dough, between 6 and 8 cups.

    2 Knead slightly, and roll into cherry-size balls. Flatten balls to form patties. Arrange on sheets of wax paper, and allow to dry overnight.

    3 Place chocolate and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth. Dip patties in melted chocolate, and let cool on wax paper. (4 dozen)
