Ingredients: 1/4 cup butter (softened) 1/3 cup light corn syrup (clear) PEPPERMINT PATTIES submitted by Tami Martin
Ingredients: 2 cup white sugar ½ cup butter ½ cup milk 6 tbsp cocoa 1 tsp vanilla 3 cups rolled oats 1 cup coconut (shredded/sweetened) Walnuts (optional) CHOCOLATE MACAROONS submitted by Tami Martin
1 or 2 tsp peppermint extract (to taste) 3 cups powdered icing sugar (sifted) 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate (2 x 225-gram boxes of Bakers chocolate, or you can use dark chocolate chips) Instructions: In a larger mixing bowl, beat the butter, corn syrup, and peppermint extract with an electric mixer, slowly add the icing sugar and mix until it forms a stiff dough. Form teaspoon (1”) sized round balls and place them on a baking sheet with wax paper, flatten them with your finger, then place them in the freezer for one hour. Using a double boiler, melt two cups of semi-sweet chocolate. Remove from heat and dip each frozen patty in the melted chocolate, then place them gently on a new baking sheet lined with wax paper. Freeze until you’re ready to enjoy. It is one of my holiday traditions to make several sweet treats for family, friends and my wonderful clients. These incredible Peppermint Patties are my favourite. Enjoy!
Business awards Instructions: Combine sugar, butter, milk and cocoa in a large pot and let come to a full boil for one to two minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, then mix in coconut thoroughly, add rolled oats and stir together. Drop using a teaspoon onto a waxed cookie sheet or parchment paper quickly to avoid hardening. Let cool. Tips! If the mixture hardens before you have finished dropping onto the cookie sheet, add a little milk to soften. Freezes well for short periods of time. This is another family favourite that my late father, Glen McMahon, made for all of us at Christmas, for Birthdays, and when he needed a favour… he knew we could be bribed with a batch of these!
