Peppermint Patties

Peppermint and chocolate are my favorite combination. The cool, smooth taste of the mint and the rich, dark flavor of the chocolate are perfect together. This is a super easy and yummy recipe for the holidays! (Or just for yourself, I won't tell on you.) You would never guess these have no dairy! They are super fluffy and satisfying. :)

 

Ingredients-
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/4 to 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon peppermint extract (to taste)
1 cup dairy free chocolate chips (I used Kirkland semi sweet chips)

In a bowl, mix the coconut oil up until most of the lumps are gone. Slowly add powdered sugar and peppermint extract. (You may need to pop the mixture in the fridge for a few minutes to harden up a bit.) You will want to be able to form it into a ball.

Once you have reached this point, you will want to form the mixture into disks. Place the patties on a waxed paper covered cookie sheet. Then pop them in the freezer to harden. When these are in the freezer, melt the chocolate chips. Dip the patties in the melted chocolate. You may need to add a little coconut oil to the chocolate to make it easier to dip. Put the patties back on the cookie sheet and put in the fridge until the chocolate hardens.

One batch made about 11 patties, but you may have more or less depending on how big you make the patties.


Enjoy!
