#744 - Peppermint Patties

(by Shirley McNevich)

1lb. Domino's powdered sugar
3 TBSP softened butter
3 tsp. peppermint extract
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup Carnation evaporated milk
2 cups Nestle's semisweet chocolate chips
2 TBSP Crisco shortening

In a bowl add powdered sugar, butter, peppermint extract, milk and vanilla--stir well. Place wax paper on to cookie sheets. Take out a teaspoonful of dough at a time and roll it into a ball, then place it on the wax paper. Repeat until all dough is used. Refrigerate the cookie sheets with the dough for 45 minutes. Remove cookie sheets from refrigerator and use the bottom of a glass to flatten each mint. In a microwave safe bowl add the Crisco and the chocolate chips--melt and stir until completely mixed. Dunk the patties in the chocolate and place them on wax paper until set. Refrigerate.
