For those of you who liked my recipe for homemade peanut butter cups, this recipe uses the same technique to make homemade peppermint patties! The filling here is creamy and very minty, and if you want, you can easily adapt this recipe and make different flavored fillings by using different extracts (I think almond extract would be especially tasty!). I even made a strange (but surprisingly tasty) concoction by layering the peanut butter cup filling with this peppermint patty filling (at the request of some co-workers).
