Homemade Peppermint Patty Time

These were a little time consuming, but really pretty easy and very tasty.  Click here for the recipe!

The batter is pretty dry and crumbly, but really easy to form into balls.  If they start to fall a part at all knead the ball a bit.

Parchment paper is really your friend in this recipe.  Make sure that you leave a bit of room between balls so that when they are pressed into discs they aren't touching each other too much.

For the discs, an easy way to flatten them is to cover them with parchment paper and then take another jelly roll pan and press it down on top of them.  This makes their thickness fairly even and the tops and bottoms of the discs completely flat.

The chocolate adheres to the sugar in the discs really easily so you don't have to press them all the way into the chocolate.  I used two forks to maneuver the discs in and out of the chocolate and it seemed to work really well.  Don't worry if it drips on the parchment.  If you pull them up before they are completely dry, the excess should stick to the parchment and not the candy.

We hope you enjoy these tasty treats!
