Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. ((*I always melt Ghiradelli dark chocolate baking chocolate and omit the shortening.))
  2. In a bowl, combine first four ingredients.
  3. Add milk and mix well.
  4. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. (This recipe tends to vary. The last time I made this, I had to add in a lot of extra sugar to make it rollable, so just eyeball it :) ).
  5. Chill for 20 minutes.
  6. Flatten with a glass to 1/4-inch, place on cookie sheet lined with waxed paper and chill for 30 minutes. (Here, I generally put them in the freezer).
  7. In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and shortening or melt chocolate candy coating.
  8. Dip patties in chocolate; place on waxed paper to harden.
  9. As you dip the patties they may start to soften/thaw before you can get to them. If you made more than one cookie sheet full, it's a good idea to only pull out one sheet at a time.
