Need a pep up? Got 3:30itis? Don’t reach for the chocolate, reach for these! The perfect make-ahead treat loaded with healthy cacao, coconut oil and nuts and topped off with a splash of peppermint oil. Delish!
To your Bellini, Thermomix or food processor add: 150g pitted dates 30g shredded coconut (I use organic to avoid sulphites. You can get Macro organic at Woolies or Health food shops generally stock it). 15g cacao 120g almonds 3 drops of pure peppermint oil (I use doterra oils but you could use peppermint essence if you can’t get your hands on some. Bare in mind you will not get any health benefits from essence) Mix it altogether for 20 seconds on speed 8. Add 30g coconut oil (doesn’t need to be melted but melted is fine) Mix again for 20 seconds on speed 8. Mixture should be crumbly and stick together when pinched. If it is too dry, add a little bit more coconut oil or a few more dates. Taste it to see if you find the peppermint strong enough. Roll a teaspoonful at a time into balls and put in the fridge (or freezer if you really can’t wait!) until they are hard.
