Finish off dinners and meals with these homemade
peppermint patties. The refreshing creamy
peppermint flavored filling will melt in your mouth with
each bite!

Ingredients:
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 tbsp. peppermint extract
6 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 pounds chocolate flavor candy coating*, melted

Instructions:
In large mixer bowl, combine Eagle® Brand, extract
and food coloring if desired.
Add 6 cups sugar; beat on low speed until smooth
and well blended.
Turn mixture onto surface sprinkled with
confectioners’ sugar.
Knead lightly to form smooth ball.
Shape into 1-inch balls.
Place 2 inches apart on wax paper-lined baking
sheets.
Flatten each ball into a 1 ½-inch patty.
Let dry 1 hour or longer; turn over and let dry at
least 1 hour.
With fork, dip each patty into warm candy coating
(draw fork lightly across rim of pan to remove excess
coating).
