Ingredients

• 12g dark chocolate
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon Bulk Nutrients Micellar Casein in Vanilla
• 1 teaspoon Bulk Nutrients Sweetvia
• 2 drops peppermint essence – We used Young Living Essential Oils
• 1 tablespoon vanilla yogurt powder
• 1/3 cup desiccated coconut
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Directions

1. To make the chocolate coating: Melt chocolate and coconut oil together.
2. Coat a silicon patty case with one tablespoon of the mixture. Ensure the base and sides are coated to about 1/2 – 1cm in height. Set aside.
3. To make the peppermint filling: Mix all remaining ingredients in a bowl with one tablespoon of water. Add addition water in 1/2 tablespoon intervals until the mixture is a moist and workable consistency.
4. Shape into disks, slightly smaller than the base of the silicon cases. Place disks on top of set chocolate base.
5. Pour the remaining chocolate over the top of the disks remelting if necessary.
6. Allow to set in the fridge until set.
