Peppermint Patties
I have made these every year as one of many Christmas treats. My family
really loves them, it wouldn't be Christmas without them! When you dip, tap
the fork on the edge of the pan to shake off excess. Slide the patty onto
waxed paper -- you can use the fork to make a little swirl on the top to
make it pretty. Prep Time: approx. 45 Minutes. Cook Time: approx. 10
Minutes. Ready in: approx. 2 Hours 55 Minutes. Makes 28 patties (28 servings).
Printed from Allrecipes, Submitted by Patty Stockton
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
4 cups confectioners' sugar
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons shortening

Directions
1 In a large mixing bowl, combine condensed milk and peppermint extract.
Beat in enough confectioners' sugar, a little at a time, to form a stiff
dough that is no longer sticky. Form into 1 inch balls, then place on waxed
paper and flatten with fingers to form patties. Let patties dry at room
temperature two hours, turning once.
2 In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate with shortening,
stirring often. Remove from heat. Dip patties, one at a time, into chocolate
by laying them on the tines of a fork and lowering the fork into the
liquid. Let cool on waxed paper until set.

Original Creamy Mints #23719
by Debbie Smith

Although I do not know where the original recipe came from, my great aunt made a slightly changed form of this for my sister's wedding. I loved it and have made them multiple times since. This is truly a wonderfully sweet candy recipe.

8 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons half-and-half
1/4 cup butter
1 (15.00 ounces) box white creamy frosting
1 teaspoon peppermint extract (or 1 tsp. of other flavoring - strawberry is my favorite)
food coloring
1. Combine cream cheese, half and half, and butter in heavy saucepan.
2. Stir over low heat until creamy and butter has melted.
3. Blend in frosting mix and stir until blended well.
4. Add peppermint extract and food coloring.
5. You can divide into different colors and flavors.
6. Note, though, if you would like to use candy molds or have an itch to try something equally sweet, look into using the Alternative Creamy Mints Recipe.

Peppermint Patties
I have made these every year as one of many Christmas treats. My family
really loves them, it wouldn't be Christmas without them! When you dip, tap
the fork on the edge of the pan to shake off excess. Slide the patty onto
waxed paper -- you can use the fork to make a little swirl on the top to
make it pretty. Prep Time: approx. 45 Minutes. Cook Time: approx. 10
Minutes. Ready in: approx. 2 Hours 55 Minutes. Makes 28 patties (28 servings).
Printed from Allrecipes, Submitted by Patty Stockton
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
4 cups confectioners' sugar
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons shortening

Directions
1 In a large mixing bowl, combine condensed milk and peppermint extract.
Beat in enough confectioners' sugar, a little at a time, to form a stiff
dough that is no longer sticky. Form into 1 inch balls, then place on waxed
paper and flatten with fingers to form patties. Let patties dry at room
temperature two hours, turning once.
2 In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate with shortening,
stirring often. Remove from heat. Dip patties, one at a time, into chocolate
by laying them on the tines of a fork and lowering the fork into the
liquid. Let cool on waxed paper until set.

Original Creamy Mints #23719
by Debbie Smith

Although I do not know where the original recipe came from, my great aunt made a slightly changed form of this for my sister's wedding. I loved it and have made them multiple times since. This is truly a wonderfully sweet candy recipe.

8 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons half-and-half
1/4 cup butter
1 (15.00 ounces) box white creamy frosting
1 teaspoon peppermint extract (or 1 tsp. of other flavoring - strawberry is my favorite)
food coloring
1. Combine cream cheese, half and half, and butter in heavy saucepan.
2. Stir over low heat until creamy and butter has melted.
3. Blend in frosting mix and stir until blended well.
4. Add peppermint extract and food coloring.
5. You can divide into different colors and flavors.
6. Note, though, if you would like to use candy molds or have an itch to try something equally sweet, look into using the Alternative Creamy Mints Recipe.
