Homemade Peppermint Patties
Peppermint Patties are a creamy peppermint-flavored filling coated with melted semi-sweet chocolate for a burst of mint chocolate flavor in every bite! They are perfect for the holidays and would be a wonderful addition to your Christmas Dessert Charcuterie Board! I also have Peppermint Patty Stuffed Chocolate Cookies you will love! Ingredients & Substitutions Confectioners’ Sugar: You will need ten cups (plus a little extra for dusting) of confectioners’ sugar, also called icing sugar for the filling.It contributes to the texture and sweetness of the filling.Corn Syrup: Light corn syrup acts as a binding agent.
It also helps prevent crystallization of sugar for a smooth and creamy texture.Peppermint: Add 2 teaspoons of peppermint extract for that signature minty flavor in the filling.The amount can be adjusted based on personal preference.
Butter: Unsalted butter adds smoothness and richness to the filling.Salt: Kosher salt brings out the sweetness and the mintiness.Coating: Semisweet chocolate is melted with vegetable oil for a glossy, chocolate shell that peppermint patties are known for.
You could also experiment with other kinds of chocolate like dark chocolate or milk chocolate.What If The Filling Is Too Sticky? If after mixing the filling together it is too sticky to work with, just add a little bit of confectioners’ sugar (1-2 tablespoons) at a time.Can I Halve The Recipe? Sure!
