Ingredients
Scale
¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
1 ½ teaspoons peppermint extract
4 cups confectioners sugar
1 pound chocolate almond bark
Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Prep the Tray:
Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set it aside. Clear space in your freezer for the tray.
Mix the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and peppermint extract. Slowly mix in the confectioners sugar using an electric mixer until a stiff, non-sticky dough forms.
Shape the Patties:
Roll the dough into small balls, place them on the tray, and gently flatten each into a thick disc. Freeze for 1 hour.
Melt the Chocolate:
Melt the almond bark in the microwave, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
Dip and Decorate:
Dip each patty in the melted chocolate, shake off the excess, and place it back on the lined tray. Add sprinkles if desired.
Set and Serve:
Let the chocolate fully set at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
For an extra festive touch, use red and green sprinkles.
You can store the patties in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
