Coconut-Peppermint Patties

February 16, 2024 by towers

It’s easy to make your own candy with very good ingredients.  I like these coconut-peppermint patties because there is no cooking involved except for melting the chocolate chips.  I bought a mold made of silicone and it works like a charm when removing the patties after they have set.  And because the coconut filling is not cooked, I can use honey as the sweetener–I never heat honey as it will lose valuable properties if heated.  As for the chocolate chips, use whichever type you like as long as they are organic.  Really, this recipe could be considered low in sugars if you use chocolate chips that are not super sweet.

Makes 6, 2-inch round patties

Filling:

1-1/2 cups finely shredded organic dried coconut

1 tsp. vanilla extract

peppermint extract or essential oil to taste ( I used a few drops of the essential oil.)

2 Tbsp. melted ghee

1 Tbsp. honey

 

Chocolate :

1-1/2 cups chocolate chips, melted on a double boiler

 

Place all filling ingredients in a food processor and mix well.  Taste to adjust peppermint extract. (Start with a few drops so you don’t overpower your candy.)  Use a spoon to place enough melted chocolate in the bottom of your molds.  Use the spoon to spread it evenly over the bottom and up the sides of each mold.  Let cool and harden but keep the rest of the melted chocolate over the double boiler so it does not harden.  Fill each mold with the coconut filling and press down flat evenly with the sides of the mold using a spoon.  Spoon more melted chocolate over the top of each mold making sure  you add enough that you seal the filling.  Place in the refrigerator to fully harden.  Remove from the mold and enjoy!  Will keep in the refrigerator for as long as you resist finishing them off!
