Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- Mix your filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, softened cream cheese, and peppermint extract, blending until cohesive.
- Shape the patties: Mold small amounts of the mixture into discs and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the discs: Freeze the baking sheet for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
- Melt the chocolate: Use a microwave or double boiler to melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth.
- Dip the patties: Using a fork, dip each frozen disc into the melted chocolate and allow excess to drip off.
- Set the patties: Return the coated patties to the baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes.
- Savor the treats: Enjoy your homemade peppermint patties fresh or store them for later.
