I discovered this in my treat-making-spree about two weeks ago. You know what the best part is? They last quite awhile in the fridge! So if I'm feeling the need for something chocolaty-minty after dinner, I've got a stash. Jimmy packs him in his lunch, as to not offend his laptop after lunch. How nice!
Here's a link to the recipe.
1. Use powdered sugar to coat your hands before rolling each patty-scoop into a ball. It'll keep it from sticking. Dip the bottom of a glass in powdered sugar to keep it from sticking when you're flattening them out.
2. Freeze the patties before dipping them in chocolate. Not overnight, or anything crazy, just nice and firm. I'd say 20 to 30 minutes is ideal.
3. Make sure your chocolate isn't too warm! The patties will start to thaw and get all wiggly and weird. I melted mine with a double-boiler, then took it off the heat and let it cool a bit. You might need to keep re-heating the chocolate. It's a laborious process...but...you're making freakin' candy! What'd you expect?
Happy patties!

These were real good, thanks! You were right about the patties getting wiggly/weird when dipping. We kept them in the freezer and took them out to dip straight away, which worked alright.
