Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter - room temperature
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 cups confectioner's sugar
- 12 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers

- Add confectioner's sugar and mix until a dough forms. If dough is very sticky, add up to another 1/4 cup of confectioner's sugar.
- Dust hands with additional confectioner's sugar. Roll dough into small balls (about 2 teaspoons each in size).
- Flatten ball with your hands into a small disc (about 1/4" thickness) and place onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Refrigerate discs for 30 minutes, until firm.
