Ingredients
- 1/2 cup organic coconut oil, liquefied, but not hot- room temperature is ideal
- 1/2 cup local raw honey
- 3/4 cup organic unsweetened finely shredded coconut
- 24 drops peppermint oil or 1 tsp peppermint oil
- 2 cups organic chocolate chips, we like 65% cacao chips
Instructions
- HAND MIX with a fork (VERY EASY TO DO) process the shredded coconut about 30 seconds until it is very fine
- Add the coconut oil, honey, and peppermint oil
- Mix until a smooth paste has formed
- Shape the paste into about 11/2 inch size rounds (or smaller) and place on a cookie sheet over parchment paper
- Place the rounds in the freezer for 10 minutes
- Melt the chocolate over a double boiler
- Remove the shaped patties from the freezer and dip rounds in chocolate and place back on cookie sheet with parchment paper
- Pop back into fridge or freezer until ready to serve- about 5 minutes
- Store leftovers in refrigerator
Note: Chocolate should be melted but cool– NOT hot, as coconut mixture will melt very quickly when warm
