Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar

- 2 teaspoons oil
Instructions
- In a medium size bowl mix the sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, and powdered sugar together until thick dough forms.

- Using a fork dip the peppermint patties into the melted chocolate and place back on the wax paper covered baking sheet.

- Store the peppermint patties in the fridge until ready to be served! Enjoy!
