Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl mix together condensed milk and peppermint extract, and gradually add in powdered sugar until well combined.

Divide dough into 4 sections and roll each section into logs about 1 1/2" wide. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 1 hour.

Melt chocolate according to package instructions. Slice logs (one at a time, leaving the rest in the freezer until ready to use) into 1/4" patties. Dip into chocolate and lay on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Be sure to dip quickly so the patty doesn't get too soft.

Store in a sealed container at room temperature or in the freezer. I prefer to eat them straight from the freezer!
