Homemade Peppermint Patties 🍫🍬

Ingredients:

🔸 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
🔸 1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
🔸 4 cups powdered sugar
🔸 1 pound chocolate almond bark
🔸 Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions:

1️⃣ Gather all the enchanting ingredients, as we embark on our peppermint patty journey! 🎉

2️⃣ In a large bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk and peppermint extract, infusing the essence of mint into our creation.

3️⃣ With the help of an electric mixer, slowly incorporate the powdered sugar into the mixture, like a sprinkling of stardust, until a stiff dough forms. It should no longer be sticky but rather a smooth and magical consistency.

4️⃣ Now, let's shape the peppermint patty magic! Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a tray lined with parchment paper. Gently flatten each ball to create thick, disc-shaped patties.

5️⃣ Place the tray of peppermint patties into the freezer, allowing them to set and firm up their magic for about an hour. ❄️❄️

6️⃣ When the patties are ready for their chocolatey coating, melt the chocolate almond bark in the microwave at 30-second intervals until it's melted and smooth, like liquid gold.

7️⃣ Working quickly, dip each peppermint patty into the melted chocolate, like a magical transformation. Gently shake off any excess chocolate or scrape it off the bottom on the side of the bowl, ensuring a perfect finish.

8️⃣ Place the coated peppermint patties back onto the parchment paper, like jewels on display. If you desire an extra touch of enchantment, sprinkle them with colorful sprinkles while the chocolate is still soft. 🎉

9️⃣ To preserve their magic and keep them firm, keep the peppermint patties in the refrigerator until serving time.
