For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate with a higher cacao percentage. If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of confectioners' sugar at a time until the desired consistency is achieved. Ensure the chocolate is completely melted and smooth for a flawless coating. Store the peppermint patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness and prevent the chocolate from blooming.
