Ingredients
  

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil (or vegetable shortening)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mint Filling:

    - In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Mix until well blended.

      - Add the sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and shredded coconut (if using) to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth, cohesive dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky but moldable.

        Shape the Patties:

          - Dust a clean surface with a bit of powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mint mixture and roll them into balls.

            - Flatten each ball into a patty shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

              - Once all the patties are shaped, refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to firm up.

                Melt the Chocolate:

                  - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

                    Coat the Patties:

                      - Remove the chilled mint patties from the refrigerator. Using a fork, dip each patty into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s completely coated. Tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.

                        - Place the chocolate-coated patties back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

                          Chill and Set:

                            - Once all patties are coated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 1 hour until the chocolate is set and firm.

                              Serve and Enjoy:

                                - After the chocolate has hardened, your Minty Chocolate Delight Patties are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
