Chocolate Covered Mint Patties

This week is a no TV week in our home. I know, I’m totally mean. BUT, sometimes it’s nice to just kind of detach and remind the boys that they have LOTS of toys to play with. Plus, the weather has been beautiful – far too nice to miss while watching TV.

Of course, no TV means I need to be on top of my game. I have to be hands on all afternoon – no breaks. It’s harder than it sounds 🙂 Actually, these weeks are my favorites. I’m “forced” into being more active with the boys and getting them involved with my routine.

The boys have always loved helping in the kitchen. Some days that’s great…others, not so much. I figured out a meal plan for the week in advance and incorporated some recipes that I knew they could help with.

These Chocolate Covered Mint Patties are one of them. Recipes don’t get any easier than this and if you’ve never dipped candies before, patties are the perfect candy to start with. No balls rolling off of forks here! It’s fun and great for kids.

Sure, your patties may not be exactly the same size…but who cares! It’s fun and the rewards are these unbelievable patties! Smooth, refreshing mint centers surround by sweet, decadent chocolate. It just doesn’t get any better.

As much as I love peppermint, there is a very special place in my heart for mint. It’s like a breath of fresh air. Two breaths if you’re like me 🙂  This is one recipe I urge you to try. You honestly can’t mess it up and you are just going to go crazy for these fabulous mint patties!

    Hello,
    I want to know if I can replace corn syrup with something else?
    I don’t find corn syrup where I live.
    Thank you

    I like the half-dipped idea too – makes me think I can eat twice as many then. 🙂 You make this recipe seem easy!

    Hi!
    Just wanted to say thanks for such a great recipe! I used semisweet chocolate and ended up doing “half” dips when I made them. I underestimated the amount of chocolate I’d need and covering them completely was using too much. 😀
    And with the richer chocolate, half was plenty. Made these as a Christmas “thank you” for my husband’s bosses and they really enjoyed them!

      That’s wonderful Laurel! I’m sure they looked so pretty half-dipped as well!

    You can replace 1 cup of light corn syrup with 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar dissolved in 1/4 cup hot water or other liquid used in the recipe. For 1 cup of dark corn syrup, you can use the following substitutions: 3/4 cup light corn syrup plus 1/4 molasses. 1 cup honey.

    I made these for Christmas this year because they looked so good and everyone I know loves mint(including myself). I think that instead of regular mint extract I would have preferred peppermint extract.Your patties are also incredible thick and I found the texture to be a little unappealing, and enjoyed the thinner ones more. Overall they were pretty good, but maybe I just did something weird because they didn’t turn out quiet as good as I was expecting.

    So I made the Christmas mint patties but a friend didn’t care for the texture. said too ‘cakey’ , my husband doesn’t like mint so he didn’t try them, I used gel instead of liquid food color like the recipe said but perhaps I used too much powdered sugar? mine are soft, is that how they should be?? I used peppermint in the green batch and mint in the white, and I like the mint the best. like Double mint gum! So then I went to make these choc covered one’s OR so I thought I was going to.. I used red gel but they turned out more pink, the exact color of Cherry Mash candy so I decided to experiment with your basic recipe here But I used Cherry extract! I used my food chopper and ground up unsalted roasted peanuts to a med/fine texture. I used that CandiQuick ( I will never buy almond bark again) and mixed the peanuts with the chocolate, and then rolled the balls in the chocolate and kept them in balls.. Homemade cherry mash that tastes exactly like store bought!! If I could add pics here I would show you how awesome they look. Thank you for all of your great recipes! Merry Christmas. Lynn
