My husband loves York brand Peppermint Patty candies.
The other day I saw on one of these newfangled social media what-evers,
a recipe, well I think that it's more like a technique myself, for
homemade Peppermint Patties
Ok, I'm game.
The recipe said that the yield was 50 pieces, I got 67
Pretty straight forward:
3 C. Powdered or Confectioners Sugar
1 1/2 tsp. Peppermint Extract
1/2 C. Sweetened Condensed Milk
8 oz. Dipping or Candy making Chocolate, like Ghiraradelli Dark Melting Waffers or any type of Chocolate you prefer with a bit of vegetable oil stirred in
Mix the 1st three ingredients together in a large bowl,
until it forms a stiff dough
(I used my KA w/the dough hook attachment-much easier )
Roll out, on a surface dusted with more powdered sugar, 1/4 thick
Cut out 1" rounds
(any bigger and they won't dip nicely,oh, and I used the top off of a discarded aspirin bottle, approx. 1 inch)
Place on a tray lined with waxed paper, chill for 30 minutes
Working in batches,
Dip in melted waffers or chocolate w/oil
Place back on the tray
Chill again for 30 minutes
DEVOUR!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the `fridge.
The whole house smelled so good, and I was SOOO sticky all over
