Peppermint Patties

List of Ingredients





14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
6 cups powdered sugar, plus extra for working surface
1 Tbsp. peppermint extract
1 1/2 lbs. dark candy dipping chocolate
red or green food coloring, if desired

In a large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, extract and food coloring. Add powdered sugar; beat on low speed with an electric mixer until ingredients are well mixed.
Turn mixture onto a surface sprinkled with powdered sugar. Knead lightly to form a smooth ball. Working in batches, roll the the mixture until 1/4 inch thick. Using a 1 1/2" to 2" biscuit cutter, cut out the the mixture into "patty" shapes. Transfer them to a cookie sheet lined with wax paper using a thin metal spatula. Continue until all of the batches are gone. Let patties dry for 1 hour; turn over and let dry at least 1 hour.
Place dipping chocolate in a large Pyrex measuring cup. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave for another minute, stirring every 20 seconds, or until mixture is smooth. Using angled tongs, drop the patties into the chocolate, turn over, coating completely and transfer to a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Let stand until firm. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
