Paleo Peppermint Patties

These peppermint patties are so incredibly easy to make and even easier to eat!  My husband couldn't stop eating them.  He isn't a picky eater and always very willing to try my new recipes so I can't always tell how much he really likes them.  It was pretty obvious with these since he had no self control!  They are mounds of yummy peppermint dipped in chocolate.  I was surprised by how well they lasted in the fridge and could easily be made ahead of time.



Ingredients:

½ cup coconut oil, melted

¼ cup raw honey or maple syrup

½-1 teaspoon organic peppermint extract

½ to 1 cup chocolate chips (We use Lilly's brand- sweetened with stevia)
