Tips for Getting That Perfect Peppermint Center

Texture matters. If your peppermint mixture feels too sticky, add a touch more powdered sugar. Too dry? A splash of water does the trick. You’ll know it’s right when it rolls easily and holds its shape when flattened. Want to get creative? Add a drop of food coloring or a flavored extract to make it your own. These are fun to prep ahead and freeze for later, too.

Chocolate Dipping Like a Pro

Dipping the patties might sound tricky, but here’s the secret: use a fork and let the excess chocolate drip off. Place each patty on parchment paper and chill immediately. The result? A glossy chocolate shell that snaps when you bite in. Trust me, you’ll want to double the batch. It’s one of those easy recipes that’s almost too good to share!
