You will surely love the mint flavor in each bite of this patty! These heavenly treats are made with basic ingredients that I know you already have in your drawers and fridge! I usually let my kids help me prepare these Mint Patties. It’s a fun thing to do with the little ones! Anyway, I have listed all the ingredients and directions so all you need to do is to follow them step by step and you are good to go!

INGREDIENTS :

• 1/2 c dark chocolate flavored coating
