Ingredients
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 8 ounces dark chocolate (60-70% cacao), chopped
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, softened butter, corn syrup, peppermint extract, and heavy cream. Mix until a stiff dough forms. If too dry, add a few drops of water; if too sticky, add more powdered sugar.
- Turn the dough onto a work surface dusted with powdered sugar. Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a 1.5-inch round cutter, cut out patties. Reroll scraps and cut more. Place patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each frozen patty into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Let excess drip off, then place on parchment paper. Repeat with remaining patties.
- Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Tips
- For a stronger mint flavor, increase peppermint extract to 3/4 teaspoon.
- If chocolate thickens while dipping, reheat gently.
- Serve chilled for best texture.
