Just recently, a facebook friend posted a link to a recipe on facebook for Mint Patties (from here). This afternoon, I checked the cupboards and found that I had the necessary ingredients, so I gave them a go. Instead of using a mix master and the mixing by hand, I used the food processor like you do with pastry. Also, I used milk chocolate to coat them instead of dark choc at Sean's suggestion.
On reflection these are the changes I would make:
*Go back to dark chocolate, they are so sweet that the bitterness of the dark choc would be a better combination than the sweetness of the milk choc.
*Make them smaller. They weren't as big as real mint patties but they are much richer.
*Experiment with how to coat them in chocolate-maybe the consistency of the dark choc would cover them better. I put them in the fridge to harden before coating them which made the chocolate harden before it was properly spread.
