Ingredients
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 12 drops red food color
- 1 1/2 to 2 16-oz packages confectioners' sugar
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Directions
In large bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract and food
color. With spoon, stir in 1 1/2 packages confectioners' sugar. On cutting
board generously sprinkled with confectioners' sugar, gradually knead in
enough additional sugar so that mixture forms a smooth firm ball that doesn't stick to hands or board.
Pat mixture into 8" X 8" square. With knife, cut into 1 inch squares. #Shape each piece into a ball and with fingers, flatted into a 2 inch patty. Top with pecan half. Repeat with remaining pieces. (Keep pieces covered with plastic wrap while preparing patties) Let patties dry at least 1 hour.
