No Bake Christmas Peppermint Patties
Jump to the recipe Print version
These delicious little festive peppermint patties are a HUGE hit during the Holidays!
They are ultra easy to make and the kids love to help!
First start off by rolling your colored peppermint patty balls in sugar.
Once you’ve rolled the balls in the sugar, take a fork and slightly flatten each one.
I know as soon as I put them out on the cookie tray, they are one of the first things to go!
I always make extra batches and give them out as gifts – they look so pretty!
They only take a small amount of food coloring to get them looking festive, a little goes a long way!
