smooth.

peppermint essential oil. Taste as you go to make sure you are satisfied with
the level of mintiness.

mixture in the freezer for 20 minutes to allow it to slightly harden

mixture is firm enough to handle, divide the coconut oil mixture into 12
portions, and roll them into small balls.
- Place the balls
on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Gently flatten them to form a
disc.

- Store your homemade peppermint patties in the fridge to prevent them from getting sticky and melting.
