Ingredients
  

1 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk (or dairy-free alternative)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon shortening (or coconut oil, to temper chocolate)

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mint Patty Mixture:

    In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to remove any lumps.

      Add Wet Ingredients:

        In a separate bowl, combine the coconut oil, peppermint extract, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended. Slowly add this mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.

          Shape the Patties:

            On a clean surface, roll the dough into small balls (about 1 teaspoon each). Flatten the balls into patties about 1/4 inch thick. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

              Chill the Patties:

                Refrigerate the patties for about 30 minutes until they are firm and set.

                  Melt the Chocolate:

                    In a heat-proof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and shortening. Melt them together in the microwave in short intervals (15 to 30 seconds), stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.

                      Coat the Patties:

                        Using a fork, dip each chilled mint patty into the melted chocolate, making sure they are fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back onto the parchment paper.

                          Set the Chocolate:

                            Once all patties are coated, place them back in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.

                              Serve and Enjoy:

                                Once the chocolate has set, your Minty Chocolate Dreams are ready to be enjoyed! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for freshness.
