  • Once the mixture is combined, it should have a dough-like consistency.
  • Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to cool.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle powdered sugar over to coat.
  • Form balls from the dough by hand (about 1 tbsp or so of the mix) and place on powdered parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle more powdered sugar on top of the balls and flatten them into rounds with your fingers.
  • Place the baking sheet back in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm.
  • In a small sauce pan, heat the chocolate chips and 2 tbsp coconut oil on low, stirring constantly once they begin to melt. Stir until the mixture is completely melted and remove from heat.
  • Remove the patties from the refrigerator.
  • Line another baking sheet with a clean sheet of parchment paper.
  • Using a fork, place each of the patties into the chocolate to coat and allow the excess to drip off before placing them onto the clean parchment paper.
  • When all the patties are coated with chocolate, place them back in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set.
  • Place the peppermint patties in an airtight container and store in the freezer or refrigerator for up to one month.
