In a large bowl mix together the sweetened condensed milk and peppermint extract.
Next using an electric mixer slowly start to mix in your powdered sugar.
You are looking for a stiff dough that is not sticky.
Once your dough is formed you can begin to roll your dough into balls and place them on a parchment lined tray.
Gently flatten the balls down into a thick disc shape.
Place the tray into the freezer.
Let the patties freeze for about an hour.
When you are ready to dip, melt your almond bark in 30 second intervals in the microwave until all melted and smooth.
Working quickly, dip the peppermint patties into the chocolate.
Gently shake off any excess or scrape it off the bottom on the side of the bowl.
Place back onto the parchment paper and immediately top with sprinkles if desired.
I like to keep these in the fridge until serving to make sure they stay nice and firm.

You can dip these in white almond bark, milk chocolate or dark chocolate.

You can use melted chocolate chips if you can't find almond bark or candy melts.

You can make these large like a regular size peppermint patty or a smaller size.

I like to put on some festive sprinkles but these are also great without.

Make sure you freeze these before dipping as they are delicate and can melt fast in the chocolate if not frozen.

Store in the fridge for up for 2 weeks or freezer for 2 months.
