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.

- Sweetened condensed coconut milk: Adds a creamy consistency and sweet rich flavor.

How To Make Vegan Peppermint Patties
Step 1: Stir together sweetened condensed coconut milk, powdered confectioners sugar, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, salt, and melted coconut oil in a mixing bowl. Place dough in the fridge to harden.
Step 2: Form into balls, then flatten and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the freezer 1-2 hours.
Step 3: Place dark chocolate chunks in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan filled with a couple of inches of water. Melt chocolate.
Step 4: Add coconut oil and stir.
Step 5: With a fork, dip peppermint patties in melted chocolate, letting the excess chocolate drip off. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Storing and Freezing

Tips
