# Ingredients:
→ Filling
01 -
2 cups powdered sugar
02 -
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
03 -
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
04 -
2 tablespoons whole milk
05 -
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
→ Chocolate Coating
06 -
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
07 -
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoothness)
# Steps:
01 -
In a medium mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, cocoa powder, softened unsalted butter, milk, and peppermint extract. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or by hand until a smooth dough forms. Adjust consistency by adding extra milk, one teaspoon at a time, if needed.
02 -
Portion the filling and roll into balls. Flatten each ball into discs approximately 1/4 inch thick and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
03 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
04 -
Remove patties from the refrigerator. Using a fork, dip each patty into the melted chocolate to coat completely, tapping off excess. Arrange coated patties on the parchment-lined sheet.
05 -
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15 minutes to speed the process.
06 -
Once the chocolate is fully set, transfer patties to an airtight container. Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator until serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For best texture, allow coated patties to come to room temperature before serving. Additional coconut oil in chocolate enhances coating smoothness.
