Candy Cane Patties are really fun to make and your friends will be surprised by the colorful candy cane center once they bite into them. Make sure you use high quality peppermint extract or peppermint oil. Peppermint oil is very strong so be sure to use only couple of drops.

Candy Cane Peppermint Patties

5cups confectioners sugar plus more for dusting
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract / if you prefer more minty flavor, use more extract, I used mint extract and it worked well too, if you have peppermint oil, you can also use that, but be careful, oils may have stronger flavors, use only couple of drops/
3tbl shortening
20 ounces(about 570grams) tempered chocolate or dipping chocolate wafers
Food Gel Coloring: red
•Beat 5 cups confectioners sugar with corn syrup, water, peppermint extract, shortening, and a pinch of salt using an electric mixer (with paddle attachment if using a stand mixer) at medium speed until just combined.
•Divide filling dough into half, color one dough red, and second leave white.
•Form each filling into a snake shape and then roll it out between 2 pieces of parchment paper, dust bottom and top with more powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
•Starting with the white layer, loosen both wax papers on the bottom and on the top. Same with the red layer.
• Line work surface with plastic wrap, stack layers on top of each other.
•Roll both layered into a log. Chill in the freezer until firm, 30+ minutes.
•Using a sharp knife cut small patties, place them on a tray lined with wax paper. If patties get soft, chill again until firm.
•Prepare the chocolate, using dipping fork dip each round into the chocolate, gently shake of the excess and place freshly coated patties onto the tray lined with wax paper. Once you are done with all the patties, put the tray into the fridge for 10 minutes for the chocolate to set.
Store mint patties in a cool place in an airtight container, layered, wax paper between each layer.
