Pure mint flavor in soft and creamy dough covered with chocolate, they are addictive for sure. I remember that they were my brother's favorite, everytime we went to my grandmothers house he immediately ate all the peppermint patties that she had in the pantry of course they weren't home made so I made them and he loved them.
Recipe slightly addapted from Joy of Baking:
- 2 c. of confectioners sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint oil
- 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons of evaporated milk
- 250 gr. of bittersweet chocolate
1. On low speed beat first 5 ingredients until combined, increase speed and beat until a smooth dough forms, cover it and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
 |
| Make sure it's oil and not extract |
2. Dust a baking pan with confectioners sugar, roll the batter into 1 inch balls and flatten them with your hands.
3. Transfer the patties to the prepared pan, refrigerate for 1 hour. Melt chocolate and let it cool, then carefully cover the patties (you can use a fork)
*Making the patties was easy but I struggled a little bit to cover them, if they begin to melt quickly put them back in the fridge.
Wow! bardzo interesujący przepis!

ReplyDeleteThese look so cool! And I'm not just saying that because I've bought into York's marketing. My mom and sisters always go nuts over peppermint patties, but I'm really more of a peanut butter cup person. Still, I'm going to have to give these a try.
ReplyDeleteI also love peanut butter cups, you gave me a great idea and now I need to find a recipe
DeleteThese look better than the real deal! I wonder if you froze them before dipping if that might make it a bit easier???? thanks for a wonderful sounding recipe!
ReplyDeleteit should be easier but the only problem is that the chocolate is going to get hard before you can even remove the patty from the fork
DeleteThis is indeed a treat! Looks simple enough for be to handle:D
ReplyDeleteTe quedaron perfectas! Parecen compradas, pero nop!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice treat. My mom and my husband are crazy about peppermint sweets. They will finish the entire batch (and even fight for the last piece!). You are so detailed - all the patties are the same shape!
ReplyDeleteWow!! I LOVE peppermint patties! One of my very favorite candies but I've never thought to make them myself. I think that now I need to :) Great post!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I love peppermint patties, but I can't say I've ever thought of making them myself. You inspire me. :)
