Directions
Peppermint Patties, These are amazing! Better than York’s because the chocolate is so much thicker The yield is a guess as the recipe is from a friend who made them at Christmas and gave them as gifts Fortunately, I was one of the recipients This recipe has been updated to add more details after questions from reviewers Cooking time is really drying time for the centers , I’ve made these a few times now So easy and taste just like york but better Its important to add the sugar slowly If you add it all at once or too quickly the dough will be stickier and hard to work with use a little circle fondant cutter and it makes perfect sized patties I don’t change a thing Great recipe, I only had butter flavored shortening so used coconut oil used a metal napkin ring to cut them out That worked well

Dip Patties in Melted Chocolate. the Method My Friend Has Found to Work Best: She Places Them on a Long 3-Tined Fork, Puts Them in the Chocolate (it Should Be No More Than 1 1/2 Inches Deep), Flips Them Over to Coat the Other Side, Lifts Them Out Again With the Fork Underneath the Patty, Shakes the Fork to Shake Off the Excess Chocolate & Then Places the Patty on Waxed Paper to Harden. |
