To make Keto diet friendly, avoid honey and replace it with add your own compliant sugar-free sweetener.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cup coconut butter
  • ½ teaspoon raw coconut oil
  • 5-­8 drops peppermint oil
  • 1-­2 Tablespoons raw honey
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

Add coconut butter to food processor and chop into fine chunks. Melt coconut oil (not too hot) and add to food processor while spinning. Slowly add honey and peppermint oil and taste as you go achieve desired sweetness.

Place waxed paper on cookie sheet. Scoop mixture onto paper, and spread 1/2 inch thick, and put pan in refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes. Before too cold and hard, take out of frig and cut into 1/2 inch or smaller squares.

While still a little soft, roll in unsweetened cocoa. If not sticking, roll in a bit of warm (not hot) coconut oil first.  Place on plate with waxed paper, chill thoroughly, and store in airtight container in the refrigerator or on counter if less than 70 degrees in home.
