1/3cupraw honeycan sub maple syrup, to make these vegan
10drops peppermint essential oil OR 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
a pinch of salt
1/2cuproughly chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
1. Scoop coconut butter into a microwave-safe bowl, and heat for 10-20 seconds, or until soft. Add all remaining ingredients (except chocolate) and stir to combine.
2. Line a pan that will fit in your freezer with parchment paper. Use a Tablespoon to scoop the mixture onto the pan, then flatten and shape each scoop of the filling into patty shapes. Put pan in the freezer for at least 10 minutes, to cool and firm the patties.
3. While the patties chill, melt the chocolate. I did this by microwaving the chocolate in 25-second increments until almost melted, then stirring to completely melt it. You could also do this in a glass bowl sitting over a small pot of boiling water, if you don't have a microwave.
4. Remove the patties from the freezer, and dunk each one in the melted chocolate. Use a fork to flip the patties and scoop them out of the chocolate, letting the excess chocolate drain off. Set them back on the parchment-lined pan, and transfer them back to the freezer for 2-3 minutes for the chocolate to set. These are best kept in the fridge, though can sit out at room temperature for a few days, if needed.
Notes
At room temperature, the texture of the filling is soft and creamy, and when chilled it is pleasantly firm. I enjoyed eating them both ways.
