Peppermint Patty Bombes

By srumbel

I love frozen peppermint patties…and brownies…and magic shell…I decided to make bombes with a brownie base, vanilla ice cream, and homemade magic shell, with a peppermint patty hiding right in the middle.

Ingredients

• Magic Shell:
• 13 ×9 pan brownies, baked and cooled (I used a boxed mix and added 2 tsp of mint extract)
• 1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened to a spreadable consistency
• 12 Peppermint Patties
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 3 TBS vegetable shortening

Preparation

Step 1

1. Line molds with plastic wrap.

2. Fill 2/3 full with softened ice cream, spreading so that the top is level. Place a peppermint patty on top.

3. Using a glass or biscuit cutter that is close in diameter to the size of your mold, cut brownies into circles. Gently press a brownie into the pan. Place pan in the freezer for at least an hour.

4. Make magic shell: In a microwave safe bowl, microwave chocolate chips and shortening for about 2 minutes, stopping to stir every 30 seconds until smooth. When ready to serve bombes, unmold and spoon chocolate over them.
