melt-in-your-mouth raw chocolate covered peppermint patties



i have been making these for years. they are always a go-to and i almost always have some stocked in my freezer for when i get a craving. I'm obsessed with anything peppermint and chocolate. and they are simple to make with few ingredients! i think you'll love them just as much as i do (:

patties:
1 c shredded coconut
2 T coconut milk
2 T coconut oil
1/4 c raw honey (I've also tried sweetening with just stevia to keep these no-sugar & it worked great!)
10-20 drops peppermint essential oil (depending on the strength of your oil and how potent you like it)


-add everything to a food processor and process until it all sticks together nicely. roll into balls or shape into patties and set in freezer while making chocolate.

in a double broiler (or on a low temp in your dehydrator) gently melt 1/2 c chopped cacao paste, 1-2 t raw honey or stevia to taste & 1 t coconut oil. once melted, whisk well and dunk patties coating evenly. set on a parchment lined tray and set in freezer to harden a few minutes.

enjoy!

*stores best in fridge or freezer.
