Have you ever made homemade Peppermint Patties? ย I did for the first time last year, and man are they easy. ย And SO delicious. ย Because of my great love for these delectable palate cleansers, I decided to give them a fun twist!
Chocolate Pumpkin Patties
Ingredients
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 6 c powder sugar
- 1/4 tsp. pumpkin extract*
- McCormicks Red Food Coloring
- McCormicks Yellow Food Coloring
- 3 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp. shortening
Instructions
- Place sweetened condensed milk, powder sugar, 6 drops of McCormicks red food coloring, 9 drops of
- McCormicks yellow food coloring, and pumpkin extract into mixer.
- Start on slow and let all ingredients blend together. If mixer seems to struggle, you can go up one speed.
- Once powder sugar is mostly incorporated you can increase speed until mixture is fully combined.
- Take a heaping tablespoon and roll it into a ball. Place on baking sheet. My baking sheet fit about 24.
- Take a glass and press each ball down into a flat disc.
- Do this to all the pumpkin mixture and then place in the freezer for 15-30 minutes.
- Place semi-sweet chocolate into a microwave safe container and melt chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring well after each 30-second interval. When chocolate is mostly melted (some chunks can remain) add in shortening. Place back in microwave for 15-30 seconds.
- Remove one tray of pumpkin discs from freezer. Place one disc on fork and dip into thin chocolate mixture. Let excess chocolate fall back into bowl and then place chocolate covered pumpkin disc on parchment lined baking sheet. Chill for 30 minutes (or an hour at room temperature) and enjoy!
- *Purchased Pumpkin Extract from King Arthur Flour
Did you make this recipe?
Thank you for making my recipe! You took pictures, right? Well go ahead and post them on Instagram! Be sure to mention me @iambaker and use the hashtag #YouAreBaker.
I found the extract atย King Arthur Flour. ย This is not your mama’s extract, and really pacts a punch! ย They recommend using 1/8 to 1/4 tsp in baking and I totally agree.
For as easy as these are to make, you would notย believeย how decadent they taste.
These look so so good! I usually try to bake something for the nephews for Halloween. I’ve never even heard of pumpkin extract. I must have some!

I throw the neighborhood chili feed every year! It is a kids halloween party to the max! I bake all kinds of cookies, pumpkin bars, this year I will be making some recipes from your site as well! The whoopie pies and these chocolate pumpkin patties! I also do a big chocolate cake shaped like a spider! The kids love it and so do the adults! Not to mention all that baking I brew a large witches pot of grandma’s homemade chili for all to warm up their bellies before and after going trick or treating!

Halloween is my favorite baking holiday. But I have a play opening Nov. 1, and on top of that I’m sick, so I haven’t even decorated yet! I really want to make cupcakes and candy corn and pumpkin everything.
