2½ tsp peppermint extract

¼ tsp vanilla extract

8 cups powdered sugar, plus more for dusting

4 cups dark melting/dipping chocolate

Optional Twists:

In a large bowl, mix condensed milk, peppermint, and vanilla extracts. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until a thick dough forms.

Dust surface with powdered sugar. Roll dough into ½-inch thick sheet and cut into circles using a small cookie cutter.

Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for 30 minutes or until firm.

Melt chocolate according to package directions. Dip each patty into the chocolate using a fork, letting excess drip off.

Place dipped patties on a clean parchment sheet. Add sprinkles or toppings while chocolate is still wet.
