Ingredients

For the recipe:
  • 450g Icing sugar, sieved
  • 125ml Sweetened condensed milk (can use coconut sweetened condensed milk)
  • Few drops of Steenbergs organic peppermint extract
  • 150g Plain dark chocolate

Sweet peppermint patties dipped in dark chocolate, easily made, and no hidden preservatives or additives. To make dairy free/ plant based use coconut sweetened condensed milk .

These sweets could be made as gifts for Christmas or special occasions

Method

01
Place the icing sugar in a large bowl and add the condensed milk. Mix together. Add a few drops of peppermint extract and knead into a smooth even mixture. Check the flavouring and add more if needed.
02
Lightly dust a work surface with a little icing sugar and roll out to 5mm in thickness. Cut into rounds and leave to dry on a piece of baking paper. I use a small shot glass as this is a perfect 2.5cm diameter.
03
A few hours later, melt the chocolate, then dip each sweet into the melted chocolate until about half covered and leave to set on baking paper.
