Healthy Whole Foods Peppermint Bites

Now, I don't want to post recipes with paragraphs and paragraphs to scroll through before you get to the goods (in this case, these incredible, healthy, little peppermint bites). This recipe has quickly become my favourite and, when I need a pick-me-up mid-afternoon, grabbing one of these little cups is literal perfection.

So, without further ado, ladies and gentleman... the recipe.

Ingredients

• ½ cup coconut butter
• ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 1 teaspoon liquid stevia, or to taste
• 4 unsweetened chocolate squares
• ⅓ cup coconut oil
• 12 muffin liners

​

Directions

1. Place liners in mini-muffin tin and set aside.
2. Soften coconut butter by microwaving.
3. Mix together the coconut butter, coconut, 2 tablespoons coconut oil, peppermint extract and half of the stevia.
4. Distribute evenly over the 12 liners and freeze for 10 minutes, or until hardened.
5. Combine chocolate squares and remaining coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second increments until melted (or use a double boiler).
6. Add in remaining stevia.
7. Spoon over the coconut layer and freeze again until firm.

Save in refrigerator or freezer until ready to eat.
