    These homemade Vegan Peppermint Patties are sweet and rich. They are firm with a dark chocolate coating and a peppermint center that melts in your mouth.

    These Vegan Peppermint Patties are SO good that it's hard to put them down! I've been vegan for over 20 years, so it's been a really long time since I've had store-bought peppermint patties.

    From what I remember, I think these taste better than the originals. Yes, they are that good.

    They are pretty easy to make, with minimal ingredients.

    Other mint chocolate recipes to try are my Vegan Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream recipe and my Mint Chocolate Coffee Creamer.

    Another recipe is my Vegan Cherry Filled Chocolate Candy recipe.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • Sweetened condensed coconut milk: Adds a creamy consistency and sweet rich flavor.
    • Powdered sugar: Adds sweetness.
    • Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.
    • Peppermint extract: Adds a strong peppermint flavor.
    • Coconut oil: Helps the mixture solidify. Adds sheen to the chocolate. Make sure to use room temperature coconut oil. Melt if necessary.
    • Salt: Enhances sweetness.

    💭 Tips

    • After mixing the filling, place it in the fridge to harden. This will make it easier to form the dough into patties.
    • After making patties, place them in the freezer. This will make the dough nice and firm, which will make it easier to coat in chocolate.
