Ingredients

  • 6 cups powdered or icing sugar
  • 1 and 3/4 cups sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon peppermint extract
  • 3 cups dark chocolate wafers
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
  • Assorted Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

  • Step One: Start by grabbing a bowl and mixer. Add in the condensed soup, and extract and mix for two minutes. 
  • Step Two: Next you will slowly add in the powdered sugar, a little at a time. It is going to form a cookie dough texture. 
  • Step Three: Once combined use a scoop and make little balls by rolling. Then you will flatten the patties into a patty disk. Aim for around half an inch thick. 
  • Step Four: You will then let the disks dry, which takes around 3 hours. Flip them over during the drying process so each side dries. 
  • Step Five: Next you will melt your chocolate with the vegetable oil. Then heat and stir until fully melted. 
  • Step Six: Dip each of the mints in one at a time. Then shake off excess chocolate and place it on wax paper. Then add sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet. 
  • Step Seven: Let the chocolate dry, and then serve and enjoy.
