Easy Homemade Peppermint Patties

These homemade peppermint patties are a delicious treat that is perfect for any time of year. (But especially the holidays!) They’re made with just a few simple ingredients and are easy to make from scratch. The peppermint filling is creamy and flavorful, and the chocolate coating is rich and decadent. You’re going to love every bite!

These homemade peppermint patties are better than store-bought ones because they are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. This means that they have a more intense peppermint flavor and a richer chocolate coating! (And they’re easy to customize, so use your favorite type of chocolate!) These delicious treats are the perfect addition to any Christmas gathering.

Ingredient List

It only takes 6 simple ingredients to make these tasty holiday treats. The filling is so pillowy and delicious, you’re going to love it! All measurements are in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Sweetened Condensed Milk: Any dessert made with condensed milk is a winner! This is what makes the filling creamy and delicious.

Peppermint Extract: So the patties have that cool, minty flavor.

Powdered Sugar: Helps hold the filling together and makes it nice and smooth. It also adds sweetness to balance out the minty flavor.

Semi-Sweet Chocolate: Coats the patties and makes them irresistible.

Coconut Oil: This gets mixed in with the melted chocolate. It makes it easier to dip the patties in and gives them a nice shine.

How to Make Homemade Peppermint Patties

Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the sweetened condensed milk and peppermint extract to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer until combined.

Mix in Sugar: Add 4 cups of the powdered sugar and mix on low speed until the powdered sugar is absorbed. Increase the speed and beat until smooth. If the dough is sticky, add the remaining ¼ cup of powdered sugar. More powdered sugar may be necessary, depending on the humidity of your climate. The dough should be a soft playdough texture, but not be sticky at all.

Shape Dough: Dust a clean surface with powdered sugar and roll out the dough until it is ¼-½ inch thick, depending on how thick you’d like your patties. Use a 1-inch circle cookie cutter to cut out circles of dough. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and combine the scraps of dough. Roll out the remaining dough and cut out more patties until no dough is left.

Chill: Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and place the patties in the fridge to chill for an hour.

Preparing the Chocolate Coating

Chocolate Mixture: When the patties are nearly done chilling, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a medium-sized bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second increments. Stir between heating until all the chocolate is completely melted.

Coat: Use a fork to dip the chilled patties completely in the chocolate. Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to tap off the excess chocolate before transferring the pattie back to the baking sheet.

Chill and Serve: Let the patties chill for 30-40 minutes in the fridge, or until the chocolate is set. Keep chilled until serving.

Boneless, Skinless Chicken: I used chicken breasts, but you can also use thighs if you prefer.

Cream Cheese: Soften the cream cheese to room temperature for easier mixing.

Cottage Cheese: Cottage cheese adds a creamy texture and a subtle tangy flavor to the casserole. You can also substitute it with ricotta cheese for a similar consistency.

Sour Cream: For a touch of acidity that makes the flavor so good!

Cream of Chicken Soup: Cream of chicken soup is the base of the sauce and provides a savory flavor. You could also use cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup instead to switch up the flavor.

Garlic Powder: Garlic powder adds a subtle garlicky flavor to the casserole. Use fresh minced garlic for more intense garlic flavor.

Onion Powder: So your million dollar chicken casserole has some extra savory flavor.

Ritz Crackers: Ritz crackers add a crispy topping to the million dollar chicken casserole. You can use other types of crackers, but Ritz crackers have a slightly salty flavor that complements the casserole well.

Dried Parsley: For a little extra flavor. Fresh parsley can be used instead.

Butter: Butter adds richness and flavor to the Ritz cracker topping. So tasty!

This Danish Kringle is full of almond flavor, baked until golden, and then drizzled with a vanilla glaze. This can be eaten for breakfast or dessert, and everyone will love it!

I love a delicious baked Danish. Check out some more of my favorites like this Cheese Danish, this Apple Danish or this yummy Strawberry Cream Cheese Danish!

What is a Danish Kringle?

A Danish Kringle is a delicious pastry that comes from Denmark. It is made with a buttery dough that is filled with a creamy filling. The dough is shaped into an oval (this recipe makes 2!), baked until golden, and then topped with a sweet almond vanilla frosting.

This Danish Kringle is a copycat of the classic Kringle that Trader Joe’s sells around Christmastime! My kids go crazy over this treat, and if they are lucky, they can eat it for dessert or breakfast! You’ve got to try it. I love using my homemade marzipan in this recipe to make it even more delicious!

Ingredients in a Danish Kringle

These ingredients are classic, and you probably have most of them in your pantry! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact measurements.

Dough

Bread Flour: This helps give this Danish Kringle the perfect texture.

Sugar: This is what makes the recipe sweet!

Active Dry Yeast: 1 packet is just the right amount!

Salt: The salt enhances all of the flavors in the dough.

Butter: I use unsalted butter in this recipe. Keep it in the fridge so it stays cold until you use it.

Milk: I use whole milk in this recipe.

Egg: This helps bind all of the ingredients together.

Filling

Marzipan: You can make this from scratch with this marzipan recipe, or you can buy it pre-made from the store to save time!

Egg wash

Egg White and Water: Mixing these two ingredients will create an egg wash to make this Danish Kringle nice and golden brown.

Frosting

Powdered Sugar: This creates a sweet flavor that dissolves easily, making it nice and creamy.

Water: This helps turn the sugar into a glaze.

Vanilla and Almond Extract: These flavor the frosting, adding to that almond flavor.

Sliced Almonds: These are optional and can be used as a topping on this Danish Kringle.

How to Make A Danish Kringle at Home

This recipe makes TWO kringles so it’s perfect for serving a crowd. You can even make the dough ahead of time and bake it fresh when you are ready!

Make the Dough

Mix Dry Ingredients with Butter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Pour the flour mixture, along with the cubed butter, into a food processor fitted with the blade attachment.

Pulse: Pulse the food processor until the butter has been evenly distributed and nearly broken down. You should still see some small chunks of butter throughout.

Combine: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Add the flour mixture to the liquids and, using a wooden spoon, stiff spatula, or your hands, mix the wet and dry ingredients together thoroughly.

Knead and Chill: Knead the dough together and shape it into a long rectangle. Cut the dough in half lengthwise. Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate for at least an hour.

Roll the Dough: Once the dough has chilled, place it on a lightly floured surface, and using a rolling pin, roll each section of dough out into a long rectangle, about 6 by 24 inches.

Add the Filling

Prep: While the dough is chilling, preheat an oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare 2 baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.

Roll Marzipan: Separate the marzipan in half, roll each half out to the length of the dough, and smash it slightly flat. Lay the marzipan into each section of dough. If it is a little too long after flattening, you can trim it to fit inside the dough.

Fold: Fold one side of the dough over the marzipan and the remaining section of dough over the top of that, using a bit of water to secure the seam. Flip the kringle over to place the seam on the bottom.

Shape into Oval: Shape each length of the kringle into an oval, joining the ends together by fitting one side into the end of the other, and seal the seam with a bit of water. (My ovals were about 12 by 9 inches from the longest points to the widest points).

Bake: Place each kringle on its own sheet pan, egg wash the top of each kringle, and bake them one at a time for 20-25 minutes until the kringle is golden brown. Keep the kringle in the fridge while it waits to bake.

Make the Glaze

Whisk: Once the kringles are fully baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool to room temperature. While they are cooling, make the frosting by whisking together the powdered sugar, water, almond, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl.

Drizzle: Once the kringles are cooled, drizzle the frosting across each kringle, sprinkle the sliced almonds across the tops, and enjoy!

Grape Tomatoes: You can also use cherry tomatoes if you have those instead!

Pepperoni Slices: Buy mini pepperonis or slice regular pepperoni in half so that you have the classic pizza taste in every bite.

Green Bell Pepper: For a little extra texture and crunch!

Prep: Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set aside.

Boil: In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the sugar, evaporated milk, and butter. Heat over medium, stirring with a wooden spoon to combine the ingredients. Once it comes to a low boil, stop stirring and let it boil for 10 minutes without stirring it. Don’t be alarmed if the mixture looks a little caramelized in color.

Combine: After 10 minutes, remove the sugar mixture from the heat and pour over the white chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, and vanilla. Let this sit together for a few minutes before stirring with the wooden spoon to incorporate the ingredients.

Pour into pan and add sprinkles: Pour into your prepared 8×8-inch pan and top with heart sprinkles. Place into the fridge for a couple of hours to set. Once set, remove from the fridge. Use the parchment paper to lift the fudge from the pan and cut into 1 ½ inch squares.
