Homemade Peppermint Patties are a delightful treat combining a smooth peppermint-flavored filling encased in rich dark chocolate. Perfect for after-dinner indulgence or gifting during the holiday season, these patties offer a refreshing and chocolatey bite that’s easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream (add more if needed)
  • Pinch of salt

Coating

  • 1 ½ cups dark chocolate (melted)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling dough: In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, softened unsalted butter, peppermint extract, a pinch of salt, and heavy cream. Mix thoroughly until a soft, pliable dough forms. Add a bit more cream if the dough feels too dry to work with.
  2. Shape the patties: Roll the dough into small, even-sized balls, then gently flatten each ball into a disc shape about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Chill the patties: Place the discs on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze them for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up. This step helps the patties hold their shape during dipping.
  4. Dip in chocolate: Using a fork or dipping tool, fully coat each chilled peppermint disc in the melted dark chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the patties back onto the parchment paper.
  5. Set the patties: Let the chocolate-coated patties sit at room temperature or in the fridge until the chocolate hardens and becomes firm and glossy.

Notes

  • For an elegant snowy effect, dust the peppermint patties with additional powdered sugar after dipping and before the chocolate sets.
  • Store the finished peppermint patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for up to two weeks.
  • If you prefer a thinner filling, roll the discs thinner before freezing, but be careful as thinner patties can be fragile.
