Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 7 oz marshmallow cream (Fluff)
  • 10 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract
  • 5.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 16 oz Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers
  • 8 oz Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers (optional for footballs)

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat marshmallow cream, butter, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract until fully combined. Add powdered sugar and mix on medium speed until well blended.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Using about 1 tablespoon of filling, shape into a ball and flatten for traditional shape. For footballs, shape into a ball and pinch the ends. Freeze for about 2 hours.
  3. Melt dark chocolate wafers according to package directions. Dip frozen peppermint patties into chocolate using a toothpick, then tap to remove excess and place on parchment paper. Chill until set.
  4. Store at room temperature in a covered container.
  5. If making football-shaped patties, melt white chocolate and pipe laces onto the coated patties. Chill before serving.
