Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract (or more to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups powdered sugar (plus extra for sprinkling)
  • 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons shortening
  • 1/2 cup holiday sprinkles

Instruction

  • Place the condensed milk, peppermint extract and vanilla extract in the bowl of a mixer. Add half of the powered sugar and beat with a mixer on low speed. Gradually add the remaining powdered sugar. Beat until a smooth dough forms.
  • Sprinkle powdered sugar over a piece of parchment paper. Place the peppermint dough on the parchment and sprinkle powdered sugar over the top. Roll into a 1/2 inch thick circle.
  • Using a 1 or 1 1/2 inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles from the dough. If your dough does not cut easily, simply place it in the freezer for a few minutes to firm up, then try again. 
  • Transfer the peppermint rounds to a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover and freeze for 10-15 minutes.
  • Place the chocolate and shortening in a medium microwave safe bowl. Cook at 30 second intervals until melted, stirring occasionally.
  • Using a fork, dip the patties one by one in the chocolate, then place on a piece of parchment. Add sprinkles immediately. Let cool until set, then serve. Store in the refrigerator.
