Peppermint Patties


1 14-oz. can of sweetened, condensed milk
1 tsp. peppermint extract
6 cups confectioner's sugar
1 1/2 pounds of chocolate (any candy bar- we use Szerecsen b/c it's dark)

Combine milk and peppermint. Add sugar, beat on low speed until smooth. Knead mixture on a surface sprinkled with confectionser's sugar. Shape into 1-inch balls, flatten the balls into patties. Place on wax paper. Let dry at least one hour, turn over, then dry for another hour. Melt the chocolate, dipp each patty into the chocolate using a fork. Place on waxed paper and allow to harden in freezer or fridge.

I got this recipe from Heidi Meiners, who I think might have gotten it from someone else.
