Peppermint Patties

Peppermint Patties

Oh yeah. It's for real.  I freaking figured out how to make peppermint patties without sugar.
You're Welcome!

For this recipe you'll have to melt your own baking chocolate (100% cacao).  I use my chocolate melting pot for this, but you could also use a bowl and a microwave.  I also use a muffin tin to create the patties.  There's 3 parts to this recipe (1 part for each layer).

Part 1: Chocolate Base
1 Bar Baking Chocolate
2 tbsp Swerve
1 tsp Vanilla
1/4 cup Almond or Coconut Milk
1 tsp Salt
Coconut Oil Spray

Melt 1 bar of baking chocolate so it's smooth.  Add swerve, salt and vanilla. Taste your chocolate.  Different people can handle different levels of dark chocolate.  If you can't stand the taste you'll need to add more swerve.  Heat up your 1/4c Almond Milk in the microwave until it's bubbling and pour it in with your chocolate.  This last addition will make your chocolate weird.....its ok! Mix it until it's combined.  This is actually the perfect consistency to create your base.  Heavily spray your muffin tin with coconut oil spray.  Spoon about a tbsp of mixture into the bottom of each muffin space.  Use your fingers to push it into the corners and have it cover the bottom.

Part 2: Peppermint Filling
2 cups Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
1 tsp Peppermint Extract
2 tbsp Swerve
1/4 or 1/3 cup Coconut Oil (depends how gooey you want it)
1/4 cup Almond milk

Spoon about 1.5 tablespoons of peppermint filling on top of each chocolate base.

Part 3: Chocolate Toping
1 Bar Baking Chocolate
2 tbsp Swerve
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp Salt

Melt chocolate and combine the remaining ingredients into the chocolate.  Spoon over the peppermint filling (about 1 tsp on each muffin space).

Almost Done!
Freeze your muffin tin for a minimum of 30 minutes.  Using a butterknife loosen the patties from the tin and put in a tupperware or plastic baggie and keep in the freezer.  Try not to eat all 12.  I recommend telling your friends you are going to make these so you have to split it with them because you will eat them all. Seriously.
