Mint Chocolate Truffels (vegan, raw and sugarfree!)

With it growing colder, my desire for mint and chocolate has significantly increased... and since mint leaves in green tea and bakers chocolate could only last me so long, I decided to make these delicious babies! I came up with these by looking up some other 'clean chocolate' recipes and giving peppermint extract a whirl...

Mint Chocolate

Ingredients

·         ½ cup cocoa powder

·          ¼ cup melted coconut oil (warm gently on the stove to melt)

·         ¼ cup date syrup (blended 1:1 ratio of dates to water and a splash of lemon juice)

·         1 tsp pure peppermint extract

·         Pinch of sea salt

Directions:

-combine everything in a bowl and mix together, spread out to 1/8^th in thickness on aluminum foil and freeze for at least 30 minutes, break into pieces and enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

These just hit the spot and are an awesome present for friends and family just in time for the holidays!
