6 TBS coconut oil
1/3 cup coconut milk (full fat)
1.5 tsp mint extract, divided
1/3 cup Just Like Sugar (or erythritol)
1/2 tsp stevia glycerite
1 TBS coconut flour
2 (2 ounce) ChocoPerfection Bars, chopped
2 TBS vanilla almond milk
1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
Line small muffin pan with pieces of muffin liners. In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut oil, 1/3 cup coconut milk, sweetener coconut flour, 1 tsp mint and salt. Add mix until you make a paste.
Place the mixture into the prepared muffin pan. Place in freezer until frozen. Melt chocolate, 2 TBS almond milk, and 1/2 tsp mint and stir until smooth. Dip cooled/frozen coconut mixtures into chocolate, return to wax paper, and place in freezer to set. Enjoy! NOTE: They melt fast so I recommend keeping them in the freezer. Makes 12 servings.
