Easy Peppermint Patties

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 teaspoons peppermint flavored extract
• 2 tablespoons cream
• 12 ounces melting chocolate wafers

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, butter, extract, and cream until well blended and crumbly. If the mixture remains sticky, add powdered sugar 1 tablespoon at a time until it becomes smooth to the touch.
2. Transfer the mixture to a large piece of cling wrap, and using your hands form it into a thin tube about 1 to 2 inches in diameter. Wrap it in the cling wrap, sealing the ends, and place it in the fridge until firm, about 45 minutes.
3. Once firm, use a sharp knife to cut 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.
4. Melt the chocolate wafers in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each heating.
5. Using a fork, carefully dip the rounds into the chocolate until well coated. Allow the excess to drip off and transfer to a piece of wax paper. Repeat until each round is well coated.
6. Let stand until the coating has set completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
