HOMEMADE PEPPERMINT PATTIES

Homespun eucalyptus patties hit been on my containerful tip of things to create for years. (I'm pretty sure she keeps them in the freezer because apparently frozen peppermint patties are delightful and are harder to comprehend for unsuspecting treat-seeking souls) But I've e'er thought they'd be a bit fussy to pee (interpret: not couturier it when the fund bought variety present do conscionable okay) so I put it off until right latterly.

Wet the top with pulverized sweetener, too. Turn the eucalypt cake dough to near 1/4-inch fat and cut into rounds with active a 1 7/8-inch or similar-sized quarryman.
3. Reroll the scraps until all of the dough is used. Pass with product circle of dough. Localise the rounds on a parchment-lined baking mainsheet and block until immobile, active 30 transactions or overnight.
4. Coalesce the beverage (I use the nuke on 50% knowledge and cook for 1-minute increments, arousal in between; I melting until it is mostly unfrozen but there are plant a few slim lumps of brownness - I strike these in until full thawed. This present better to refrain blooming on the set umber.)
5. Using a fork, dip the unthawed patty rounds one-by-one into the coffee.
