Lovely - and easy - recipe! I always make my family baskets of homemade candy every Christmas and this was a wonderful addition as those Name Brand peppermint patties are my mom's favorite. I also tried a version with almond extract instead of mint, and some ground almond in the filling which was great. Maybe next year I will try orange extract and some orange zest! Thanks Mirj!

This recipe was just perfect. It made a wonderful christmas gift. I would suggest to not even flatten out the candies and just leave them as balls. It works out either way.

these are the best! way better than York. my family loves them. we always end up making a double batch. there was a problem with the amount of powdered sugar, though. i have always had to double the amount, otherwise it is way too runny, more like icing. i think the mistake may have been made by thinking the amount of powdered sugar in a bag was one lb, when it is actually two.
