Ingredients
- 1 can (300 mL) Original Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) peppermint extract
- 6 cups (1.5 L) confectioners’ sugar
- additional icing sugar
- 1 1/2 lbs (680 g) chocolate candy coating* or dark or semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted
Directions
Step 1:
Combine Eagle Brand and peppermint extract. Add sugar; beating on low speed until smooth and well blended. Turn mixture onto surface sprinkled with confectioners’ sugar.
Step 2:
Knead lightly to form a smooth ball. Shape into 1" (2.54 cm) balls. Place 2 inches (5 cm) apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Flatten each ball into a 1 1/2" (4 cm) patty.
Step 3:
Let dry one hour or longer; turn over and let dry at least one hour on other side. Resting on the tines of a fork, dip each patty into warm melted candy coating (draw fork lightly across rim of pan to remove excess coating). Invert onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets; let stand until firm. Store covered at room temperature or in refrigerator**.
