Homemade York Peppermint Patties (Party Mints)
- Yield: 20 2-inch mints
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 egg white (meringue powder may be substituted)
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
4 small lids peppermint flavoring (try 1/2–1 tsp.; then add more to taste if you need to.)
1 pkg. (12 oz.) almond bark OR chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
- Mix the powdered sugar, egg white or meringue, butter and peppermint flavoring.
- Make into small balls about the size of a quarter and then flatten on a cookie sheet.
- Put in the freezer.
- Melt the chocolate over a double boiler.
- When the chocolate is melted, take the mints out of the freezer.
- Put a toothpick through the center of a mint and dip into the chocolate. If the mints on the cookie sheet begin to soften and thaw, refreeze. (They are easier to dip when they are frozen.)
- Put the dipped mints back onto the cookie sheet and let the chocolate harden in the freezer.
- Wrap each mint in a piece of 5×5 inch foil. Makes twenty 2-inch mints.
