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 (about 1 inch wide) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 20 minutes.
Melt the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth; stir in vegetable oil if desired.
Dip each chilled disc into the melted chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off before returning them to the parchment paper.
If desired, sprinkle with festive toppings before chilling again until the chocolate sets completely.
