Dom (
Belleau Kitchen) posted a recipe a few weeks ago for home made York Peppermint Patties. From what I gathered, York's are not as readily available in the UK as they are here in the US. Well once I read Dom's post I could think of nothing else but making these yummies and to see if they were as good as the York Peppermint Patties I always buy. Guess what, they are!
You can find Dom's recipe on his blog(above). I had to guess my way a little with the UK measurements. Here are the measurements I came up with.
- 5 cups sifted powdered sugar
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tbsp. peppermint extract
- 3 1/2 cups dark chocolate, melted
Mix all three ingredients in a stand mixer until it forms into a dough. Sprinkle your board with powdered sugar and roll out to 1/4 inch or the thickness of a York Patty. Cut out the disks and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Next dip the peppermint disks in the slightly cooled melted chocolate and then refrigerate for another 30 minutes.
Thanks Dom, they were a huge hit!!
They look so good, I don't think I will make them yet as I would eat them all in a day. Might wait till all the Easter chocolate is gone.
ReplyDeleteGreat now I have drool running down the front of my shirt.
ReplyDeleteJust when I think I can't face any more chocolate! These look wonderfully tempting.

Have a nice week
they look so good! I know my duaghter will adore these! Thanks for sharing the recipe and thanks Dom!
ReplyDeleteoh wow they look so beautiful, your presentation is so pretty. I'm glad you liked them and they're a breeze to make aren't they although I found them quite tricky to roll out, did you?... you had to move quite fast! (or maybe my hands are too hot!)
ReplyDeleteanyway, thanks for the mentions it very sweet of you... bet these didn't last long did they?
Hi Dom, I agree that they were a breeze to make and I also agree that you had to move fast. Some of the tops on the peppermints started to wrinkle as they dried out. They were soooo good. We kept them in the fridge. We just love them really cold. Thanks again!
DeleteThey sound very good! Think I'll bookmark this:@)
ReplyDeleteYorks are my favorite candy! I'd be scared to make these and have them in the house! LOL!!! Although I must say, these do look delicious! I'm very impressed with your candy making skills!!! Love the ribbon too!
