Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup mashed potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons peppermint extract
8 cups confectioners' sugar
8 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
2 tablespoons shortening

Steps:

  • Knead slightly, and roll into cherry-size balls. Flatten balls to form patties. Arrange on sheets of wax paper, and allow to dry overnight.
  • Place chocolate and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth. Dip patties in melted chocolate, and let cool on wax paper.

I'm allergic to peppermint, so I made these patties with spearmint extract instead. They were delicious!

These peppermint patties were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my patties turned out too minty. Next time, I'll use less peppermint extract.

These were delicious! I used dark chocolate for the coating, and it paired perfectly with the peppermint filling. I will definitely be making these again.
