Method

Prepare the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, light corn syrup, and peppermint extract until well combined.
Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar, mixing until a stiff dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more sugar one tablespoon at a time.
Knead the dough on a surface dusted with powdered sugar until it's smooth and no longer sticky.

Shape the Patties

Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness on a powdered sugar dusted surface.
Use a small cookie cutter to cut out rounds. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the patties in the freezer for at least 30 minutes until firm.

Dip in Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Remove the patties from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each patty into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
Place the dipped patties back on the parchment-lined sheet and let them set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
