Peppermint Patties

Instructions

1. Combine butter, corn syrup, extract and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl and mix with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes until ingredients are well combined and holding together.
2. Remove mixture from bowl and break off about 2 teaspoon size sections. Roll into a ball and flatten with your hands forming sides. Place patties on a pan lined with wax paper or parchment paper. Place the pan in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
3. Melt chocolate in a double boiler (my preference) or in the microwave. Allow to sit for a couple of minutes.
4. Remove patties from freezer and coat one side with a basting brush and allow chocolate to solidify. Turn patties over and coat the remaining side.
5. Store in an airtight container, using parchment paper or wax paper between layers to separate.
