When you transfer your filling from the mixer to the fridge, roll it into a thick log and wrap it in plastic. When it comes out well-cooled, you can just slice it into discs and dip them.

@@TheSaltedPepper I have had good luck putting most of the chocolate bits into a Ziploc bag, zipping the top almost closed and floating it in a pot of barely simmering water. Tempering is easy too if you save some out to add in after the rest has melted. When it is ready, it’s very easy to dry the bag off, snip off a corner of the bag and proceed with the recipe. It really does eliminate the mess of working with melted chocolate. I make chocolate turtles and also melt the caramels the same way. I am a new subscriber because of this peppermint patty recipe, and I also really enjoy the comments underneath. I plan to try making the peanut butter fudge using the method I found in a comment underneath.

If you want the whitest sweetened condensed milk, check the expiration date on the can. The longest dated will be whiter, the short dated or outdated, perfectly safe if the can is not damaged, will be darker caramel color. I have used this product for many years and for some recipes I actually prefer the short or close dated better for the slightly richer flavor. I have even used sweetened condensed milk up to a year or so out of date and it's even richer in flavor. The closer to the date it is, it will also be slightly thicker in consistency so adjust the powdered sugar accordingly. This recipe sounds wonderful, and I will definitely be trying it soon. Thanks!

When was a child in the u.k. one of the first things to come off rationing in the early years after the 2nd. World War was sugar.It was apparently one of the very first things that our food ministry decided would give us a ‘boost’ to have as the The nation had been without this for soo very many years.Peppermint creams were a great favourite sweetie/chocolate delight. They were made with royal icing that was left over after our Christmas cake had been decorated.The icing was rolled flat ,using fine icing sugar to prevent the sticking of the icing to the board. The small round shapes were left to slightly harden and the turned over to harden the base. These were then dipped in melted chocolate.( The darker the better!!).when the chocolate had hardened they were ready for us(we 3 children) to be given one. I slowly savoured mine to make it last as long as possible,but I suspect that my two brothers gobbled theirs up as fast as they could,hoping for a second one !!! . I celebrated my 75th. birthday on 5th of December and still remember this so vividly. This making of sweets ,all different flavours and type is a great way to get young children interested in home cooking.

Just some additional tips - Optimal kitchen temperature when tempering chocolate is cooler than 74 degrees F. The humidity should be 50% or less. There is a microwave tempering method which helps if you don’t have an electric double boiler. Last tip, check the percent of cocoa butter in your dipping chocolate. The higher the cocoa butter, the easier it is to temper and use. Great video! I love the peppermint patties too!

[@srshama]

@L. L. Germain you literally just made your own double boiler lul

[@sandrapotter6897]

I'm definitely going to make these patties. I love a trick of Alton Brown's, where he uses a paper plates, the cheap kind, to add dry ingredients to the bowl. It cuts down on the mess and is really easy. Thank you

[@LifeOfNigh]

We usually roll the filling into a long roll and put it in the fridge then slice them into thin discs. So much easier than flattening them, and nice sharp edges. We also add a dab of green food colouring (Green for mint) to cover up any yellowing. We only have Eagle Brand here.

[@BarryPiper]

Sugars tend to darken as they cook down, which ends up looking like a faint yellow or beige. This is common in marshmallows, and it's why Kraft and other manufacturers add a tiny bit of blue food coloring to their product (didn't you ever wonder why blue food coloring is used in a product that has no traces of blue in it?). Blue is roughly complimentary to yellow/beige, and can "correct" for the yellowness and pull the final color of the product back to a neutral white.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

This was so noticeable, it was odd. I can't remember seeing this kind of a difference before.

[@1MissEllyLove]

It really burns my bacon that they add blue food coloring to marshmallows. My dad died from stomach cancer and it's a pain to find candy that isn't full of harmful, unnecessary "extras", like dye. I know it makes them white, but sugar turns golden when it caramelizes so I legitimately enjoy candy that has caramal colored tones.

[@BarryPiper]

@@1MissEllyLove the dyes in question are food grade and safe for consumption at the microscopically tiny amounts used in foods. Ethanol, on the other hand, is a group-1 carcinogen (known for a fact to cause cancer) and people guzzle it down by the liter every day.

[@1MissEllyLove]

@@BarryPiper I think you underestimate the amount of candy American kids eat 🤣 I know I, as an only child, ate enough to cause me to vomit on more than one occasion so "miniscule amount" really only can be such if you stick to the serving suggestion, and I have never met a kid who has 😅😂 I don't drink alcohol, smoke, or use products with artificial fragrance (if you really want to point fingers at cancer causers) either but when people put food coloring in foods meant for children, it bothers me because kids don't know any better and adults are teaching them it's fine, when it's actually harmful. It's totally unnecessary and encourages the toxic culture of Looks over Substance. I like my treats to actually be treats, not something harmful or feel guilty about enjoying, something I'm trying to teach my kids. Hence why we don't eat dye and enjoy our caramel colored, organic, homemade candies 😉 Feel free to put whatever amounts of whatever you want in your own food and body, but after watching my dad's horrific death I personally highly value food that hasn't been adulterated by artificial food colorings.

[@BarryPiper]

@@southerncatlady6680 ethanol is the chemical name for the alcohol found in beer, wine, liquor, etc. Often present at concentrations of 10-20% (beer & wine) or as high as 95% (Everclear is 95% ethanol by volume). The IARC lists ethanol as a group-1 carcinogen. Contrast that with food additives like preservatives, conditioners and colorants that are found in foods at concentrations far lower than a fraction of a percent. People are freaking out about the wrong things.

I’m going to try this recipe again, I’ve done it once, but this time I am going to add cocoa powder to the mint filling. I’ll be using about a quarter cup cocoa for 1 cup of sugar.

Have you ever tried rolling out the cold paste like cookie dough and then using a round cookie cutter to form the patties? You could even make different shapes! Also, if you placed the dipped patties on a cooling rack (with parchment lined tray underneath) after dipping you could avoid the pooling and the subsequent "need" to trim the excess (or just leave them rustic!)

Look fantastic and yummy :) Food for thought on the parchment paper, I find it easier to sit flat in pan by turning the pan upside down and forming the parchment on it and then flip it and you will see a huge difference in how it fits in your sheet pan, a lot less struggling with the roll ups. Hope this helps and enjoy your treats. Looking forward to your next video, thanks so much for sharing with us all ;)

You can also scrunch it all into a ball, then undo it. It will fit into the trays much more easily, but won't leave the smooth finish to the bottoms of the patties.

First of all, this recipe is divine. Way better than store bought. Here are my other takeaways. At Christmas time, Andes candies sells a peppermint version. I added them to the dough. They are softer than crushed candy canes and lend great flavor and color. I use Merkins coating chocolate when I’m too lazy to temper chocolate. The ‘dark’ version tastes more like hot cocoa than true chocolate but I like it. I tried doing a 50/50 blend with Ghirardelli’s baking chips and the flavor was better but although they did firm up at room temperature, there was no snap. Soft coating melts too fast in your hand so I went with 100% merkins. DON’T use your rubber edged paddle if it is plastic as this dough is so stiff that it broke mine. Second time I’ve done that. First time was with royal icing. Sigh. They are definitely easier to dip when frozen and they thaw quickly. For the left over chocolate, I spread it on parchment and sprinkle with crushed pecans, coconut, and cranberries. Sort of a trail mix bark. I had to hide these peppermint Pattie’s from my husband. He would have eaten them all. My only complaint is that the recipe only made 61 instead of 62 candies! ;) thank you for this video

[@islandgal500]

I don't know how I got a perfect batch because this was a comedy of errors (my doing, not your recipe). Eagle Brand cond. milk is only type here, no choices, but 300g only which is only 10oz so knew I was going to have to tinker. Forgot the butter but added it at the end and mixed that in. Then the new bottle of pure Mint-Peppermint extract ran down the side of the bottle rather than into the tsp. Eventually I got some in. Then powdered sugar had to be eyeballed because of smaller condensed milk proportions so kept adding in 1/2 cup bits. Your description was perfect on how it should feel, so that saved me. I didn't even have to chill because was not sticking. Shaped balls and then flattened with a glass bottom and placed layers on to cookie sheet separated with parchment paper to freezer. I know we have to TASTE the white mixture and of course had to do that many times to confirm it was perfect. In the freezer now and chocolate nearly melted so soon will be finishing them off. I used semi-sweet chips and a lot of unsweetened baking chocolate and tasted that to make sure it is just right too. I've only ever found them online and needed to wait about 10 days for them to get here by mail with other essentials. I've had the After Eight and Russell Stover brands and yours by far exceed in taste! I also love that I can keep them in the freezer and nibble. Next time I will roll them out on parchment paper on cookie trays, freeze, pour chocolate over, and cut into squares like the After Eight brand. Time to dip.

Luv these.Thanks for the recipe.

[@colleenwolf9837]

This is the one I've been waiting for - THANKS, Louise!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Enjoy!

[@sewcrazybaker]

I'm SO GLAD this was recommended to me because I LOVE Peppermint Patties! I tried to make them a few years ago, but that recipe was just awful and I ended up throwing everything away. This recipe looks great! And I know it will work because you made them for us on video. This will be a January project for me. And I know what you mean about steam burns! I'm a quilter, so I'm always using my iron with a LOT of steam. I've been burned by steam more times than I can count. Just the other day I was pressing a small item and a blast of steam hit one of my fingers and went under my fingernail. WOW that was painful!!! Because of this video, you have a new subscriber. ME!!! Thank you for sharing this tutorial!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

That's great, thank you! I hope you love the peppermint patties! Steam burns are very painful for sure!

[@lauraharter1]

Can you use peppermint extract instead of emulsifier?

[@sandyforan3301]

You are a wonderful teacher. Thanks so much.

I love peppermint patties. I use a wire rack so they dry/drip neater

[@kaitlynskitchen9562]

I was thinking about that. Do you have issues with the chocolate sticking to the rack though?

[@TraceyBoyland]

@@kaitlynskitchen9562 No, because I used a coated rack

[@fernshinbaum]

I made these for my family during Thanksgiving and they loved them! Thank you for common sense, delicious recipes and instructions.

Thanks for the recipe, you can put in a drop of purple colouring gel to make the centre whiter. Just a tiny bit.

[@teddiev2720]

Cannot wait to try these and surprise my husband. We love peppermint patties. So happy I found you!🙏

[@lindasherman9370]

Looks easy and I purchase bags of this candy often. I think I will try this recipe. I usually don't watch videos of this length, but you are like sitting in the kitchen visiting with family. I enjoyed it all. Thank you for posting this recipe.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Hope you enjoy them and thank you so much!

[@BelieverInChristJesus4ever]

I think the 1st one you showed (round one) looked great, the streaks make it look like it came from a candy store and is decorative.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thanks!

[@xyzsame4081]

I thought the same thing, if one could get more of that effect one could declare it a feature not a bug.

[@debbielockhart7762]

​@xyzsame4081 No, it looked like the chocolate had "bloom" from not being tempered. Chocolate chips often look like that if they've been stored awhile. Not appealing.

[@CitrusWedge]

These came out ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, I will definitely be making more of these!

[@levernelogan4914]

These look wonderful and would be so pretty at Christmas on a tray with other candies💕

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Totally!

[@cookeeee1962]

I guess you could use a pale green food color to disguise the beige? Christmas colors ? Personally they could be any color, I'd enjoy😁❤

[@marg4229]

I'd add some chocolate to the beige filling? That would disguise the beige (could try powdered chocolate with the icing sugar) and make it a double chocolate patty. I'd eat it beige too since these are my favorite treat. Not a traditional look, but neither is the beige.

[@michaelynedwards1043]

Using ur idea, & use white chocolate.

[@cookeeee1962]

@@marg4229 that's a great idea...can never have too much chocolate!!

Sweetened condensed milk darkens with age even though it is still within the "use by" date. It also darkens if left in a hot location while still in the can. Darker doesn't mean bad, just darker!

[@emilybilbow5304]

You can make carmel With it... my mom would put the entire cab in a pot of simmering water... simmer it for a while (not sure exactly how long) when the van cools you can open it up and have a soft set carmel...

[@TheSaltedPepper]

This was just purchased, of course it still could be old. I never said it was bad, but it definitely made a beige fondant which is not what most people would prefer in their peppermint patties.

[@emilybilbow5304]

I appreciate you mentioning color of it... just in case... I also loved the idea of adding food coloring in case for some reason the filling comes out dark and not white... this was a great demonstration... thank you 😋

[@yttelbruinsma9503]

She never said it is bad.
