Ingredients
3 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
3 tablespoons heavy cream
12 ounces semi sweet chocolate melting wafers
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 tablespoons crushed peppermint candies
2 tablespoons holiday sprinkles
Instructions
1. Add powdered sugar, softened butter, corn syrup, peppermint extract, and heavy cream to a large mixing bowl and mix until a smooth peppermint dough forms.
2. Scoop small portions of the dough and roll them into balls, then flatten into thick round discs.
3. Place the peppermint discs onto a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 20 to 25 minutes until firm.
4. Melt the chocolate wafers and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until glossy and smooth.
5. Dip each peppermint disc into the melted chocolate using a fork, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
6. Return the coated patties to the parchment paper and immediately sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies and holiday sprinkles.
7. Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or refrigerate until firm before serving.
Notes
Keep the peppermint centers cold before dipping so the chocolate coating goes on smoothly.
Use high-quality chocolate melting wafers for the best flavor and glossy finish.
Store the patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.
