Chocolate Coating: Melt dark chocolate chips and shortening together in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Remove the peppermint discs from the freezer once set.
Dipping Process: Dip each peppermint disc into the melted chocolate using a fork, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated patties back on the parchment paper.
Setting the Chocolate: Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Once the chocolate is set, store the peppermint patties in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
