Tips for Perfect Peppermint Patties
- Adjust the Mint Flavor: Peppermint extract can vary in strength, so always taste the filling and adjust to your liking. A little goes a long way!
- Choose Quality Chocolate: For the best taste, opt for high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%. This will give a rich, satisfying flavor that complements the mint filling.
- Experiment with Shapes: While the traditional round shape is classic, feel free to use festive cookie cutters for holiday-themed patties, such as hearts, stars, or snowflakes.
