Instructions

Make the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, softened butter, heavy cream, peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until a smooth, pliable dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more powdered sugar until it holds its shape.
Form the Patties:
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and flatten them gently into disc shapes. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze the discs for 20-30 minutes until firm.
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler.
Coat the Patties:
Using a fork, dip each peppermint disc into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Gently tap off the excess chocolate and place the coated patties back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Set the Chocolate:
Refrigerate the patties for 20-30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Serve and Store:
Enjoy your peppermint patties immediately or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

For a festive look, drizzle the coated patties with white chocolate or sprinkle with crushed candy canes before the chocolate sets.
Adjust the peppermint extract to taste, starting with 1 tsp if you prefer a milder mint flavor.
