Delicious Peppermint Patties

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/4 cup agave nectar
• 1/2 tsp peppermint oil (organic if you can)
• 1/2 to 1 cup dark chocolate chips, melted (whatever brand you use, make sure they DO NOT contain milk)

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine coconut oil, agave and peppermint oil, mixing with a spoon.
2. Smash clumps of coconut oil against side of bowl until mixture is smooth. Freeze the mixture for a few minutes until it starts to harden, then remove from freezer.
3. Using a 1-1/2 tsp scoop, or small spoon, measure out little balls onto a parchment lined plate.
4. Place the plate in the freezer to firm up the mint balls; when firm, remove from freezer.
5. Squish balls down into flat little patties on parchment paper. Dip patties into melted chocolate (use spoon to drop patty into melted chocolate, dip & remove).
6. This part can trip you up - If your chocolate is too hot when dipping the patties in, it will just melt right off and not stick.
7. Your chocolate needs to be cool enough not to melt the patty, but not too cold that it�s too thick.
8. Getting it just right may take a little practice. Place patties on parchment paper to harden (takes about 10 minutes or so).
