Ingredients
72MINI Nilla Wafer cookies(can use regular sized as well)
17-ounce bag of mini peppermint pattiesunwrapped
8ounceschocolate chipsor melting chocolate wafers
1teaspooncoconut oil(optional to add with chocolate chips when melting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
Place 36 mini Nilla wafer cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place a mini peppermint patty in the center of each one.
Heat in oven for 90 seconds. DO NOT heat longer than 90 seconds.
Remove from the oven and place another cookie on top of each peppermint patty. We're NOT squishing or flattening the mint, just adding a cookie on top and slightly pressing down.
Immediately chill the tray of cookies in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, or until chocolate has set.
Melt chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. You can use melting chocolate wafers or chocolate chips. Note: if using chocolate chips you can add a teaspoon of coconut oil if you'd like to thin them out a little.
Dip cookie sandwiches into chocolate using a chocolate dipper tool or fork. Tap the tool or fork against the side of the bowl to allow the excess chocolate to drip off before transferring the cookie back to the baking sheet.
Refrigerate cookies until the chocolate has hardened.

Notes
Store peppermint cookie bites in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.Note: if using regular-sized Nilla wafers you may need a little more chocolate.
