These Homemade Peppermint Patties are a festive and delightful treat featuring a creamy peppermint filling encased in rich chocolate almond bark. Perfect for holiday celebrations or a refreshing sweet snack, these patties combine the cool flavor of peppermint with the smooth texture of sweetened condensed milk and powdered sugar, dipped in melted chocolate and optionally decorated with colorful sprinkles.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 ½ teaspoons peppermint extract
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

Coating

  • 1 pound chocolate almond bark
  • Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peppermint filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and peppermint extract. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix well until a firm dough forms that can be rolled and shaped without sticking to your hands.
  2. Shape the patties: Roll the dough into a log and slice into small, even pieces. Shape each piece into flat, round disks, about 1 to 1 ½ inches in diameter, and place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Chill the patties: Refrigerate the shaped peppermint patties for at least 30 minutes to firm up, which will make them easier to dip in chocolate.
  4. Melt the chocolate almond bark: Melt the chocolate almond bark using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until completely smooth.
  5. Dip the patties: Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each chilled peppermint patty into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the parchment paper.
  6. Add sprinkles (optional): While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the coated patties with colorful sprinkles for added decoration.
  7. Set the chocolate: Let the dipped peppermint patties sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate hardens completely, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  8. Serve and store: Once set, serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • Ensure the peppermint pattie dough is firm enough to handle before dipping to avoid breaking.
  • You can substitute chocolate almond bark with high-quality dark, milk, or white chocolate according to preference.
  • Use wax or parchment paper to prevent sticking when laying out patties to set.
  • Sprinkles are optional but add a festive touch perfect for holidays.
  • Store patties in a cool, dry place or refrigerator to maintain the chocolate coating’s integrity.
