  York Peppermint Patties
  1 (14−ounce) can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
  1 tablespoon peppermint extract
  green or red food coloring, optional
  6 cups confectioners’ sugar
  Additional confectioners’ sugar
  1 − 16 oz. bag semi−sweet chocolate chips
  2 T. Crisco
  In large mixer bowl, combine Eagle Brand, extract and food coloring if
  desired. Add 6 cups sugar; beat on low speed until smooth and well blended.
  Turn mixture onto surface sprinkled with confectioners sugar.
  Knead lightly to form smooth ball. Shape into 1−inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on wax paper−lined baking sheets. Flatten each ball into a 1 ½−inch patty.
  Let dry 1 hour or longer; turn over and let dry at least 1 hour.Melt the chocolate chips & Crisco in a microwave for 2 minutes.
  Stir halfway through the heating time. Melt thoroughly, but do not overheat.
  Melting the chocolate chips & crisco can also be done using a double−boiler over low heat. With fork, dip each patty into warm chocolate (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.

  how long should these last hidden from everyone, would it be better to freeze or would they weep?

  I am making these today. I am going to freeze half the peppermint part and when I am ready to use them dip them in the chocolate

  This recipe would easily convert into peppermint balls and make an excellent gift! A little bag/box of these along with a coffee or mocha jar mix would make a great gift from the kitchen present;-D Speaking of which, I need to get supplies for my all purpose mix, chili mix, mocha mix It’s a tight year so everything is from the kitchen!
  One friend is getting a gift certificate for a pedicure (she has arthritis), but everyone else is getting refills and recipe cards for their favorite dish that I make. That is really saying a lot because I don’t share my recipes with ANYONE but all of you!
  Thanks for the inspiration!
