I love this recipe! I found it easy to do. I changed it up a bit to make it more For Christmas by adding green food coloring in place of the orange. I also added 1tbsp of coffee to chocolate and covered the whole patty. I find that the drying time varies.this will be one of my go-to holiday treats

Reading the reviews, I took into account the time to dry and it took more than 24 hours. But The flavor tasted like powder sugar and food coloring. I doubled the extract and I could barely taste the mint flavor. I was very disappointed they didn't come out well. I'm undecided on trying again. :(

This is the 2nd year I've made these, I love them. They do keep better in the fridge, and as I dont have a stand mixer the dough doesnt set up as well so I fold a bit more sugar in, and since I love the peppermint flavor I always add a bit moreof that too. This year my 3 year old kept trying to steal the little balls as I was making them!

These were delicious and a big hit at a family party. When I was first making them I thought for sure I would need to add more sugar. But, I let the mixer go for a long time - maybe 5 minutes or so and the dough came together just like it is supposed to. I noticed after I cut them, the pieces were a little dry on the outside from rolling the log in the powdered sugar. I found if I rolled them in my hand a little longer when forming the balls, about 30 seconds, that brought the moisture back into them. I covered 3/4 with chocolate - leaving just enough to hold onto and show the color. I dipped quickly and twisted my wrist to keep the disc from breaking, and then put them in the fridge for the chocolate to firm up quickly. They came out delicious!! Good luck.

I loved these. So did my sister (who is not a peppermint fan and my dad, who loves peppermint patties almost as much as I do. He said that they had even more flavor then the store bought ones. I was so excited to find a lovely little Halloween treat that I could make that everyone would love.
I did have to add an extra two cups of sugar though. But that wasn't really all that bad.

Sadly, these are nothing like a peppermint patty. These are cloyingly sweet and sort of hard. The reason is, they need a base of something neutral to hold the sugar and extract. I tried other ones on the internet that use mashed potatoes and to my surprise they are great. More importantly, the texture is more similar to that peppermint patty we are all trying to replicate.

I give this 2 stars for giving me the motivation to find a better recipe.
