Chocolate Mint Cups- Paleo & Clean!

Hi again! If you have seen my recent post.. you will know that I either have a sweet tooth or the holidays are right around the corner!!  Who says you can’t make your holiday gifts and eat them too?  These are a great idea to make ahead of time and pop out of the fridge when unexpected guest come by… another reason to not feel guilty :).

Ingredients:

½ cup coconut oil, melted to liquid form
1/8 to ¼ cup raw honey (Organic/Raw/Local are all good words!)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 – 6 drops peppermint culinary grade essential oil or ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
1 cup gluten free mini chocolate chips (I have used Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips)

Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, combine ingredients except chocolate chips, and stir until well mixed.
2. In a double broiler, add chocolate chips and cook until the chocolate becomes a thick liquid.
3. Line a mini muffin pan with 15 cupcake liners or silicone liners.
4. Fill each cupcake liner with the chocolate to create a thin layer. Place the muffin pan in the freezer for about 5 minutes to let the chocolate thicken.
5. Remove pan from the freezer. Now to create the middle layer, scoop approximately 1 teaspoon of the coconut/peppermint mixture and pour into each liner. This will be over the hardened chocolate layer.  Place the muffin pan in the freezer for 5 minutes for the new layer to solidify.
6. Remove from freezer and top with the remaining melted chocolate to create the final top layer.
   Return to freezer for approximately 10 – 15 minutes to solidify.
7. When ready to serve, take out of the refrigerator and remove the cupcake liner.
8. Keep in refrigerator or freezer when not serving to prevent melting.

*Make a double batch of Chocolate Mint Cups- and try Orange Oil with Peppermint for a unique complimentary flavor!
