Peppermint patties are a quick and tasty holiday treat.
Why Try? These are a breath of fresh air on a cool winter day.
Foodie Byte: Freeze these candies between steps to make them easier to mold. Of course, that means you can store them in the freezer, too, and just pull out as needed for quick refreshment.
Preparation
- Mix all together in a bowl and chill.
- Roll into balls, which may be flattened out into patties or rolled into sticks. Dip in melted chocolate and let harden.
- Chocolate for dipping: Melt chocolate chips and shortening together in microwave.
