Perfect Peppermint Patties!

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

  1. HAND MIX with a fork (VERY EASY TO DO) process the shredded coconut about 30 seconds until it is very fine
  2. Add the coconut oil, honey, and peppermint oil
  3. Mix until a smooth paste has formed
  4. Shape the paste into about 11/2 inch size rounds (or smaller) and place on a cookie sheet over parchment paper
  5. Place the rounds in the freezer for 10 minutes
  6. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler
  7. Remove the shaped patties from the freezer and dip rounds in chocolate and place back on cookie sheet with parchment paper
  8. Pop back into fridge or freezer until ready to serve- about 5 minutes
  9. Store leftovers in refrigerator

Note: Chocolate should be melted but cool– NOT hot, as coconut mixture will melt very quickly when warm
