In a medium-size bowl mix the sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, and powdered sugar together until thick dough forms.

Using a fork dip the peppermint patties into the melted chocolate and place them back on the wax paper-covered baking sheet.

Once all patties have been coated place the tray back in the fridge and allow the chocolate to set for another 30 minutes.
