Ingrédients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup milk or almond milk for dairy-free option
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil optional, for smooth chocolate coating

Équipement

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Microwave-safe Bowl
  • Spatula

Préparation
 

  1. Gather all your ingredients and tools. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Stir to blend evenly.
  3. Add milk and peppermint extract. Mix until a smooth, pliable dough forms.
  4. Roll dough into small balls, flatten them into discs about ½ inch thick, and place them on the lined baking sheet.
  5. Freeze the discs for 30 minutes to firm up before coating.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Dip each frozen peppermint disc into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Let excess chocolate drip off.
  8. Return coated patties to the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until chocolate sets, about 30 minutes.
  9. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy the refreshing chocolate-mint flavor!

Notes et conservation

Store peppermint patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 2 months. For a vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate and non-dairy milk. Try adding crushed peppermint candies for extra crunch or drizzle melted chocolate for a decorative finish.
