I get giddy when I start thinking of making treats for neighbors and friends. I feel like this treat has officially begun our holiday baking and I’m so excited. It was perfect in my mind!Īlso, if you don’t have peppermint extract, mint works just fine too! ![]() I was worried it might throw off the texture, since the patty itself is smooth and creamy, but since we added the crushed peppermint when the chocolate was wet, it allowed the peppermint pieces to soften considerably, so it had not too much crunch. Of course, you can do them plain, but I think the crushed candy canes gives it a pop of color and just makesit look more festive. Can you tell that this is the one of the ones they did? When it comes to sweets, they are not one for moderation! They also really liked crushing the candy canes and sprinkling them on top. It feels just like play doh, so it was right up their alley. I would use a cookie scooper to make sure that the dough was evenly portioned, and then I’d let my little boys roll them into the flat patty shape. I think these would make great neighbor gifts, but I can’t say for certain since we definitely ate them all ourselves. I think this will definitely have to be a new candy we make every year! They’re refreshing, they’re rich and they are seriously a fabulous homemade candy. My kids call these “chocolate cookies” but whatever you call them, you’ll be enjoying them as they melt on your tongue. I recently looked up the recipe for it and thought–I bet I can make this dairy free! And, thank goodness it can be adapted. Unfortunately, both have milk in them, so my oldest has never known the pleasure of this refreshing treat. Throw them in the fridge so it’s nice and cold and it’s the PERFECT treat. I’ve always been a fan of York Peppermint Patties and Junior Mints. This dessert can also feed just about anyone as it’s gluten, dairy, egg, soy, peanut and tree nut free as well as top-8-free and vegan. ![]() Six ingredients, no bake and easy to make, even kids will have fun rolling the dough into balls. A rich chocolate coating enveloping a soft, chewy peppermint center is the perfect holiday treat.
