Recipe - Chocolate Mint Patties

3 2/3 cup (1lb.) powdered sugar
One fourth cup Hershey's cocoa
1/3 cup Butter or margarine,

Sift together powdered sugar and cocoa; set aside. In a large mixer bowl
on medium speed with electric mixer, beat butter, corn syrup, and
peppermint extract until well blended. Gradually add 1 to 2 cups cocoa
mixture, beating until well blended and smooth. With a wooden spoon, stir

small cookie cutters, cut into desired shapes. Or, using about 1 tsp. of
chocolate mixture for each, shape into balls; flatten into patties.
Decorate as desired. Store, tightly covered, in refrigerator.
