Ingredients

  1. 1 cansweetened condensed milk
  2. 5 1/2 cuppowdered sugar
  3. 1 1/2 tbsppeppermint extract
  4. 3 cupsemi sweet chocolate chips
  5. 3 tbspshortening

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Add condensed milk, 2 cups powdered sugar, and peppermint extract in a large bowl. Mix on medium speed. Add powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, the dough will become stiff, so you may need to mix by hand at the end.

  2. 2

    Roll 3/4" balls between your palms.

  3. 3

    Flatten balls and place on partchment paper on a cookie sheet, place in freezer for 30-45 minutes to set up.

  4. 4

    While dough is chilling place chocolate chips in microwave safe bowl and melt in 30 sec. intervals make sure you stir well. (If you decide you would rather use a double boiler start this before starting anything else.) Add the shortening once the chocolate is melted all the way.

  5. 5

    Once the patties have set up completely dip into chocolate until completely covered. I found a fork is the best way to do this. Allow extra to drip off, then place on parchment or wax paper. I then place back in freezer to allow the chocolate to fully harden. It's ready when dry to the touch.

It seems like you have a discrepancy between the powered sugar from the ingredients and the directions?
