Ingredients
Peppermint filling:
- 1 cup allergy friendly chocolate chips (we use Nestle Simply Delicious or Enjoy Life)
- ¼ cup +2 Tablespoons coconut oil (not melted)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract (or a few drops of food-grade peppermint oil)
Instructions
- In a small bowl set inside a small saucepan filled with water (for the double boiler method) or in a microwaveable bowl, melt the allergy friendly chocolate chips. If melting in the microwave, microwave for about 30-45 seconds at a time, stirring between eat heating, until melted.
- Pour a little bit of chocolate into the bottom of each well of a silicone mini muffin pan, OR a mini muffin pan lined with mini liners. Pour about 1 teaspoon into the bottom of each well and chill in the fridge or freezer until set (about 15 minutes).
- While the bottom layer of chocolate is setting, mix up your filling. In a medium bowl, beat together the coconut oil, powdered sugar, and peppermint extract (or peppermint oil).
- Once the bottom layer of chocolate is set, place a nickel sized dollop of peppermint filling onto the set chocolate layer, flattening it a bit. Do this for each well of the mini muffin pan.
- Pour the remaining chocolate on top of the peppermint filling, covering completely. Put back in the fridge or freezer to chill and set.
- Once the chocolate has set, pop the peppermint patties out of the mini muffin pan and store in the fridge in an airtight container.
