One of my sisters made a treat over the holidays that I think is my favorite new addition to the traditional holiday treat line-up. She made homemade peppermint patties! You would think they'd be difficult to make, but actually they seemed super easy. Everybody loved them, too. I haven't tried to make them myself yet, but I am going to this week.
The filling is a simple mixture of powdered sugar and a little cream cheese, and of course peppermint extract for the minty flavor. I suppose they could be made with other flavors instead. That might be something to try. Once the filling is made into balls and flattened into discs, you coat them in melted chocolate, and let them cool. Pretty simple, really.
Everyone in the family loved them. Once I make them myself, I'll report on how I did.
Happy New Year eating!
