I've wanted to make peppermint patties for a while but was intimidated since I'd never made fondant before. I'd been looking online for non-fondant based recipes but knew they weren't quite what I was looking for when they dipped their frozen patties into melted chocolate chips! I'm so glad to be able to read old threads. Thank you @Chocolot and @Kerry Beal for the recommendation for Greweling. This week I finally decided to give it a go. I used Grewelings recipe subbing peppermint oil for the fresh mint and omitting the invertase as I don't have any on hand.
The whole process was very satisfying and delicious. I don't have a fondant funnel, so I just used a 1/2 T measure. That worked but I had very different sized circles. I'd like to figure out how to make a more uniform circle without acquiring another piece of equipment. Any suggestions?
I dipped them in Guittard Onyx 72% which complimented the mint nicely. One of my sons called them "crispy". They are more like a traditional York patty. I am going to get some invertase to try for another option. I'm not too patient, so I'm sure I'll opt for more invertase over less so as to not have to wait so long.
