• Powdered Sugar • Evaporated Milk • Light Corn Syrup • Coconut Oil • Peppermint Extract • Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers • Crushed Candy Canes, Sprinkles, or Melted White Chocolate for decorating
Combine powdered sugar, evaporated milk, corn syrup, melted coconut oil, and peppermint extract in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Divide the filling into two discs and wrap them in plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for an hour so they are easier to roll out. It should be a stiff, but workable dough that you can touch with your hands.
Dust your rolling surface with powdered sugar to help keep the filling from sticking. I like to roll this out between two sheets of parchment paper just to be on the safe side. Roll ¼-inch thick with a rolling pin.
Use a small 2 to 2 ½-inch round cutter to cut out circles. You can smash the scraps together and re-roll until it has all been used up. Transfer the cut circles to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 20 minutes.
Melt the dark chocolate coating in a microwave-safe bowl using short 20-second bursts of heat. Stop and stir between each burst until melted. Dip the chilled centers one at a time in the melted chocolate using a fork or chocolate dipping tool.
Tap them against the edge of the bowl a few times to remove excess chocolate.
Use a toothpick or knife to slide them onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
If desired, decorate with crushed candy canes or sprinkles before the chocolate has a chance to set. Let the chocolate set before decorating with melted white chocolate (optional).
