Ingredients
The following ingredients have 30 Servings
- (1) 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 5 cups confectioners' sugar, plus more if needed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 24 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 cup crushed candy canes (optional)
Instruction
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside until needed.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a very large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat together the sweetened condensed milk and peppermint extract until well combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add in the confectioners' sugar, allowing what you've added to fully incorporate into the mixture before adding more. Beat in the salt. *If the filling is still sticky after adding the 5 cups of confectioners' sugar, add more, a 1/4 cup at a time, until the filling is very thick and can easily be handled.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop out level scoopfuls of filling, kneading and rolling each one in your hands a few times before rolling it into a ball and transferring it to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all filling. Using your fingertips, or the palm of your hand, press each round of filling down into a 1-and-1/2" circle.
- Set aside and allow the patties to dry for at least 1 hour on each side. I suggest setting a timer so you know exactly how long they've been drying. *To easily flip the patties over without breaking them, slide a small spatula underneath each one and gently flip it over.
