Flatten with a fork. If you are using a candy mold, follow the same steps, except you will press gently into the mold after rolling in sugar and you will not press with the fork.
• 3. Let stand, uncovered at room temp for 1 day. Store in an airtight container. You can also separate the mixture and add the separate flavors and food coloring...i.e. red for peppermint...green for spearmint. Or if you prefer one flavor..you can still separate so you can have an array of colors. Next we rolled them in a long tubular shape and rolled waxpaper around the tube..then refrigerated until chilled and cut using bakers string or a slim sharp knife.

ORANGE CREAMSICLE PATTIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine the butter, powdered sugar, and cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix everything together on medium-low speed until it is no longer powdery.
• Add the orange and vanilla extracts, and the citric acid, and beat them in until well-mixed.
• Raise the speed to medium-high and beat for an additional 30 seconds until you have a creamy, smooth paste. It should have the texture of Play-Doh-smooth but not sticky, and fairly stiff.
• If it seems too soft or sticky, add more powdered sugar as necessary until it's easy to work with.
• Divide the candy in half, and add a few drops of orange food coloring to half the batch. Stir or knead it in until it's an even color.
• Form each color of candy into a thin log, and twist them around each other several times until you get a swirled pattern.
• Form the swirled candy into a thin tube, about 1 1/2-inch in diameter.
• Wrap it well in cling wrap and twist the ends so that it stays in place.
• One optional, but helpful trick, to keep your candy round on the bottom: cut a slit in an old cardboard paper towel tube, and put the candy inside. This will help keep the bottom from flattening as it sits in the refrigerator.
• Refrigerate the candy for an hour, until it is very firm.
• Once firm, use a large sharp knife to slice off rounds about 1/4-inch thick. You should get about 24 to 30 rounds from this recipe.
• Place the white candy coating in a bowl, and microwave it in 30-second increments until melted and smooth, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent overheating.
• Cover a baking sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper.
• Use a fork or dipping tools to dip a patty completely into the melted coating.
• Once fully submerged, remove it from the bowl, and let the excess coating drip back into the bowl.
• Set the dipped candy onto the prepared baking sheet, and while the coating is still wet, sprinkle the top with orange sparkling sugar or sprinkles.
• Repeat the dipping process with the remaining patties. If they get too soft to dip, chill them briefly in the refrigerator until they're firm again.
• Once all the candies are dipped, refrigerate the tray briefly to set the coating, for about 15 minutes.
• These candies can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month. For the best taste and texture, serve them at room temperature.

PEPPERMINT PATTIES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine condensed milk and peppermint extract. Beat in enough confectioners' sugar, a little at a time, to form a stiff dough that is no longer sticky. Form into 1 inch balls, then place on waxed paper and flatten with fingers to form patties. Let patties dry at room temperature two hours, turning once.
• In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate with shortening, stirring often. Remove from heat. Dip patties, one at a time, into chocolate by laying them on the tines of a fork and lowering the fork into the liquid. Let cool on waxed paper until set.

SENSATIONAL ORANGE MINT PATTIES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, milk, orange extract, and peppermint extract with an electric mixer or by hand until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, blending thoroughly after each addition. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.
• Cover 2 or 3 large baking sheets with waxed paper. Shape the mixture into balls 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on the waxed paper and flatten with the palms of the hand or the back of a spatula. Cover and freeze one hour, or until firm.
• Cover a large counter top area with waxed paper.
• In the top pan of a double boiler over hot but not boiling water, melt the chocolate candy coating and semisweet chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Using a fork or a specially designed dipping tool, dip the mints into the melted chocolate until coated. Drop the mints onto the waxed paper. Let stand until the chocolate is firm. Store in an airtight container, separating each layer with waxed paper. These mints may be refrigerated or frozen if desired.
