Heart Shaped Pepperment Patties

Ingredients

1 lb powdered sugar
3 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
melted almond bark chocolate or dark chocolate for coating

Method

1. Combine powdered sugar, corn syrup, water, melted butter and peppermint extract in stand mixer. Mix on low until it starts to come together. Mixture should come together by forming large separate balls of candy filling. Scrape down sides of bowl to make sure everything is mixed well. Place dough in a gallon storage bag and roll the dough into a square shape the same width of the bag. Place in freezer for about 1 hour.

2. Melt chocolate in microwave according to package directions. Use cookie cutters to cut out heart or round shapes. Dip cut-out dough in chocolate and place on parchment paper to cool and harden.
