A light coating of decadent dark chocolate, and the smooth white center with a kiss of peppermint. If you love the cool and refreshing taste of peppermint, you will love these Homemade Peppermint Patties candy.

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes
Total Time: 1 Hour

Ingredients:

● 2¾ cups Powdered Sugar
● 1½ tsp Peppermint Extract
● 1 TBSP Coconut Oil
● 1 TBSP Light Corn Syrup
● 1 TBSP Water
● ⅔ cup Dark Chocolate Chips

Directions:

● Using the paddle attachment on your stand mixer, combine powdered sugar, peppermint extract, coconut oil, and light corn syrup. The mixture will be slightly crumbly.
● Add water a teaspoon at a time until the mixture becomes smooth and sticks together.
● Roll out filling to ¼” thickness on a silicone mat or waxed paper that has been dusted lightly with powdered sugar.
● Cut into circles about 1″ wide (use a clean shot glass!)
● Place disks in the freezer for approximately 10 minutes or until firm.
● While your center is solidifying you can begin getting your chocolate prepared- place dark chocolate chips in a double boiler on the stove. Turn the stove heat to medium. Stir frequently, until smooth and completely melted.
● Dip solid white centers into melted chocolate with a fork, flip to coat both sides. Tap fork firmly on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
● Lay candies on waxed paper and allow to set until firm.
● For best results keep your peppermint patties in the refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to serve.

This is a simple homemade candy recipe – no thermometer required! If you like peppermint patties (I sure do!) you know they are all about the cool peppermint middle; the chocolate is superfluous (I cannot believe I just wrote that!) Traditionally made with dark chocolate to compliment the strong taste of peppermint, no one will know if you swap out to milk chocolate if that is your preference.
