If you read my last post, you know all about the benefits of peppermint for digestion. But you may have been wondering how to get in some peppermint in a delicious way. Here is one of my favorite easy and healthy holiday treats using food grade peppermint essential oil!
Ingredients
1 ½ cup organic coconut oil
¼ cup raw honey
3 drops food grade peppermint essential oil
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 candy cane, crushed
Instructions
-
Beat solid coconut oil, raw honey and Peppermint oil together with hand mixer. This will be the filling and it look white and fluffy
-
Refrigerate whipped filling for about five minutes.
-
Use a small scoop or measuring spoon to make small mounds of mint filling. Press down with spoon or fingers to make a flat disc.
-
Place each piece on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Return mints to freezer until ready to coat with chocolate.
-
In small saucepan, gently melt chocolate chips over low heat.
-
Take mints out of freezer. Use fork to dip each piece in melted chocolate. Place on top of cooling rack.
-
To make them more festive for the holidays, sprinkle with crushed candy cane immediately after coating.
-
Put chocolates back in freezer to cool until hardened.
-
Serve immediately or store in refrigerator.
