Chocolate Mint Patties are a delightful treat that perfectly embodies the marriage of rich chocolate and refreshing mint. This no-bake dessert is not only easy to make but also an indulgent option for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup of powdered sugar
1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon of softened butter
2 tablespoons of milk (or non-dairy alternative)
1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract
1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon of coconut oil (optional, for smoothness)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, softened butter, milk, and peppermint extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Using your hands, take small portions of the mint filling and roll them into balls, then flatten them into patties. Aim for about 1 inch in diameter.
Refrigerate the patties for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Dip each chilled mint patty into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
Once all patties are coated, refrigerate them for an additional 30 minutes until the chocolate is set.
