One of my favorite things in the entire world is peppermint patties. Dark chocolate & peppermint? What could be better! I was on a mission to find these before Valentine’s Day so I could surprise my family with a yummy candy treat that wasn’t bad for them. It took me so much longer to come up with a recipe than I thought it would, but here were are 5 days before Valentine’s Day and I have finally succeeded! I’m so very pleased with the way these candies turned out and how similar they are to the store bought peppermint patties that I used to get by the case lol!
