Bite-Size Peppermint Patties
Ever since I told you guys about the peppermint patties at the Nuts Factory, they’ve been in short supply. I don’t know how often I’ll make them myself, but they did turn out really well. I added a little vanilla to mellow out the peppermint; if you want more of the peppermint flavor to come through feel free to leave it out. Obviously use the best chocolate you can find!

Directions
- Add the condensed milk to the bowl of the stand mixer with the peppermint extract, vanilla paste, and a pinch of salt. Mix with the paddle attachment until combined.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar one cup at a time, mixing on low to incorporate (otherwise it will fly everywhere). Keep adding powdered sugar until it forms a pastey dough.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave and let cool for a minute or two.
- Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag, then cut ¼” off the bag. Pipe about ½ teaspoon into the bottom of each well. Swirl the pan so the chocolate evenly coats the bottom of the pan and starts to go up the sides.
- Use a teaspoon to portion out small balls of the filling mixture and flatten slightly. Place the filling into each well over the chocolate.
- Pipe more chocolate over the peppermint filling, then use a spoon or offset spatula to flatten.
- Refrigerate for an hour to let the chocolate harden, then pop the chocolates out of the mold. Store at room temperature or in the fridge.
