Peppermint Patties


Ingredients:
  • 1/3 cup corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup of buttery spread of your choice, softened
  • 4 and 3/4 cups of powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of peppermint oil
  • a bag of carob chips or chocolate chips
Directions:
  • Whip together syrup, margarine, and peppermint (easiest in a mixer. Add sugar by the cup while mixing. You should end up with a crumbly, sort of dry bowl of stuff)
  • Pick up a small handful of stuff and start to press it into shape. It's easiest to use a cookie sheet covered with wax paper/plastic wrap to place them on
  • Melt the chips until creamy and stir-able. Take it off the heat so it doesn't burn. Coat the patties with the carob/chocolate. This is the messy part and I haven't found an alternative way without special equipment
  • Freeze
