Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, softened butter, peppermint extract, and heavy cream; mix until a smooth dough forms.
Shape the mixture into small discs and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 20 minutes to firm up.
Melt the chocolate (and optional vegetable oil) in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth.
Dip each chilled disc into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before returning to the baking sheet.
Optional: Add festive toppings like sprinkles or crushed candy canes. Chill again until the chocolate sets completely.
