Scale
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 6 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, softened butter, corn syrup, peppermint extract, and heavy cream; mix until smooth and dough-like.
- Turn the mixture onto a surface dusted with powdered sugar and knead gently until uniform.
- Roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut into small circles or squares using a cookie cutter.
- Place the shapes on a wax paper-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chopped dark chocolate with vegetable oil in 20-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Using a fork, dip each chilled peppermint patty into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place coated patties back onto wax paper and refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 15 minutes.
- Store peppermint patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
