• In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate with shortening, stirring often. Remove from heat. Dip patties, one at a time, into chocolate by laying them on the tines of a fork and lowering the fork into the liquid. Let cool on waxed paper until set.

HOMEMADE PEPPERMINT PATTIES RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and peppermint extract.
• Beat in the powdered sugar just a little at a time, until a stiff dough starts to form and the dough isn't sticky.
• Form into 1 inch balls, then place on waxed paper and flatten with fingers to form patties. Let patties dry at room temperature for about two hours (I turned flipped mine over after about 1 hours to make sure they were evenly set on both sides).
• In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate with shortening, stirring often (you could also melt the chocolate in the microwave- just do whatever you are comfortable with!).
• Remove chocolate from heat.
• Dip patties, one at a time, into chocolate by laying them on the tines of a fork and lowering the fork into the liquid.
• Let cool on waxed paper until set. Place in the fridge so let them set-up even faster (I actually prefer to eat them straight out of the fridge).
