Yes, homemade peppermint patties, stepped up with some Kahlúa Peppermint Mocha. I know—crazy awesome. Imagine having these little bites with a mug of hot chocolate stepped up with a little shot of peppermint Kahlúa.
What’s even more awesome, this homemade candy doesn’t require any boiling sugar or candy thermometer. In fact these are so easy to make, you can throw them together for a party or give them as gifts this year.
Just don’t forget the Kahlúa mix. The idea for this was inspired by my love for all things peppermint and all things Kahlúa. So you can imagine when I found out Kahlúa came out with this peppermint mix, my mind went into overdrive.
I have so many ideas that I need to get to, but one thing at a time and I’m starting with this one first. And the next one using this mix—shriek—I can’t wait to share it. I’m fine tuning it now, but trust me when I say it’s going to be a holiday show stopper.

Kahlúa Peppermint Patties
Yield: Makes 21 1 ¼ and 1 ½ inch patties
Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Kahlúa Peppermint Mocha
- 2 tablespoons Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips
- 7 oz. chocolate (your preferred kind and brand)
Directions:
- Combine sugar and butter and mix to combine, either by hand or using a stand mixer or hand mixer. Add in the Kahlúa Peppermint Mocha and mix to combine. Lastly mix in the Andes.
- Transfer the mixture onto a countertop and knead by hand to bring mixture together. Roll mixture out to a 1/8inch thick and stamp out circles; alternately, you can roll the dough into a log of your preferred diameter and slice. Transfer cutouts or slices to a parchment lined bakesheet and freeze for about 2 hours or until solid.
- Place chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second bursts, mixing in between until chocolate is melted. Remove peppermint patties from the freezer and dip into melted chocolate. Store finished patties between sheets of parchment in an airtight container, chilled. Patties will keep for three weeks. Bring to room temperature prior to serving.

You had me at peppermint and Kahlua, love!
Booze – mint & chocolate … sign.me.up. PLEASE!!
I’m drooling for these!!!
I didn’t think mint/chocolate could get any better. But leave it to you to step it up a knotch!
Whooooaaaaa! Kahula peppermint patties?! Sign me up. This sounds amazing. I have a feeling these would not last in my house.
Oh. My. Goodness. I do believe that I NEED these in my life!
I wish mine would look as nice as yours, very nice!
What an awesome gift idea – these are gorgeous. I would probably eat them all before they made it into the gift boxes! Thanks for sharing!
I would just drop of few of these into my after dinner coffee!
Talk about stepping it up a notch! or 10!! IN.LOVE.
Um, okay. The addition of Kahlua here is beyond brilliant!
Every Kahlua post gets better and better!! These are so festive and have me crazy excited for Christmas! 🙂
I usually make peppermint bark for my family for Christmas, but I’m going to have to make these this year! LOVE them!
I love peppermint patties, these are so festive and a perfect edible gift!
Oh my goodness ~ I’ve completely fallen in love with these with just one peek 🙂
LOVE how simple these are and – obviously – the fact that they involve Kahlua.
Sounds dangerously delicious. 🙂
I’d have to eat at least three of these!
I’m head over heels for these patties! Hello holiday scrumpstiousness!
These look great! I need to add them into my cookie and candy boxes this year!
I love peppermint patties. P.S. I’d never heard of the “Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips”! Where did you find them?
Boozed up candy is STRAIGHT up my alley!!
I need to make these for the holidays! I have so many family members who would love it as a gift!
Love these! So gorgeous and festive for the holidays!
Peppermint patties are my one candy weakness. I’m a freak and really don’t crave any other candy, but put a peppermint patty in front of me and I cave. I need to try these!
These look and sound amazing! Any chance you can suggest an alternate ingredient to replace the Kahlua?
These are gorgeous!! Pinned.
Ermergersh. I’d eat the whole batch, then finish off the bottle of Kahlua. 🙂 Pinned!
Oh my gosh! Yes please! So festive and so perfect!!
These look delicious, but I’m 17. Any suggestions for a Kahlua substitute?
I want to make these patties for gifts. I’d like to know what I can use in place of Kahlua. I can’t find it where I live and to order it online is extremely expensive.
Made these today. This recipe omitted cream. Cream is definitely needed. I researched other PP recipes and saw they called for cream. I didn’t have any, so in a pinch I used 1/2 and 1/2. Once added, the mixture became creamy. They came out ok, but I am sure if I used cream they would have been more creamy. I would also add a dash more Kahlua for more flavor. But without a doubt, yummy and will be devoured! 😉
