Ingredients
1 (14 oz.) can Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 tablespoon peppermint extract
Green or red food coloring (optional)
6 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 pounds chocolate-flavored candy coating*, melted
Directions
- LINE baking sheets with wax paper.
- COMBINE sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract and food coloring, if desired, in large bowl. Add 6 cups powdered sugar; beat on low speed until smooth and well blended. Turn mixture onto surface sprinkled with powdered sugar.
- KNEAD lightly to form smooth ball. Shape into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten each ball into a 1 1/2-inch patty.
- LET dry 1 hour or longer; turn over and let dry at least 1 hour. With fork, dip each patty into warm candy coating (draw fork lightly across rim of pan to remove excess coating). Invert onto wax-paper-lined baking sheets; let stand until firm. Store covered at room temperature or in refrigerator.
- *Also called confectioners' or summer coating.
