25 Day Christmas Baking Adventure Day #8

Today I made Mint Chocolate Patties!  Like the New York kind, soft in the middle...you know what I mean.  They are even better than the ones in the store, which I didn't know was possible!  Not too hard to make, just take a long time.  I had to put the batter in the fridge overnight, partly because I started them late last night, so technically they are half made today, half yesterday.  But I think it still counts, haha.

The recipe I used was this one:

She says NOT to use peppermint extract, that you NEED peppermint oil...well, they might taste better with oil but they are pretty good with extract.  I just used more.  Like, 3/4 of a teaspoon approximately.  And I didn't have any sweetened condensed milk, so I used cream.  I needed a bit more than 2 tablespoons though.  About three probably.

Anyhow they turned out nicely, if I do say so myself.  Really rich, I can only eat one at a time! haha.
That's all for now, Happy Baking!
