Eeee!!! I’m excited to bring you the very first Christmas recipe of the season ? These peppermint patties were inspired by my dad’s love of York peppermint patties. I wanted to try to create a homemade version that didn’t have a million ingredients. This entire recipe only uses FIVE ingredients, and I’m truly amazed how much these taste like the originals! The filling is made with a “secret” ingredient that so closely resembles the original candy. My recipe is drastically lower in sugar than the original York peppermint patties, but they still taste amazing!

Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: No-Bake, Gluten Free, Paleo
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup coconut butter (I used homemade)
  • ½ teaspoon pure peppermint extract
  • 1 tablespoon agave
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (I used a 56% cacao baking bar)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
  1. Mix together coconut butter, peppermint extract, and agave in small bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate and coconut bar. I melt in 30 second increments, and stir often to avoid overheating (or else the chocolate can seize up).
  3. In a standard-size muffin pan, place 8 muffin liners.
  4. Divide ½ tablespoon melted chocolate in each of the 8 muffin liners. Freeze until firm.
  5. Next, spoon a heaping teaspoon peppermint filling on top of chocolate and slightly spread around until chocolate is covered. Place in freezer for a couple minutes to firm.
  6. Divide the remaining melted chocolate (1/2 tablespoon) on top of the peppermint filling.
  7. Freeze until firm!
  8. Makes 8 peppermint patties. Recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, etc. These stay for months in the freezer! They will start to melt at room temperature though, so I recommend keeping them in the fridge.
