Peppermint Patties

7 cups sifted confectioners sugar
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk.
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
14 ounces chocolate flavored candy coating (bark)
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 1-1/3 cups)

In a large mixing bowl, combine first five ingredients. Blend until smooth.
Cover and refrigerate mixture overnight.
Use lightly greased hands to shape mixture into one inch balls and flatten
to make patty shapes. (to make peppermint drops, leave round and do not flatten). Place patties on jellyroll pan lined with waxed paper and freeze
pattied for at least 30 minutes.
In a heavy medium saucepan, melt candy coating and chocolate chips over low heat. Working with one dozen patties at a time, place each patty on a fork and spoon chocolate mixture over top til covered. Transfer patties to a jellyroll pan lined with waxed paper. Chill until chocolate hardens. Store
in a airtight container in a cool place.
Makes about 8 dozen candies.

Oh wow, I remember making these as a kid - minus the chocolate - they are delicious either way though. Thanks so much!
