Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/2 cup coconut oil
3-4 tablespoons honey
1/2 t. vanilla
6-10 drops peppermint essential oil OR 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
2/3-3/4 cups chocolate chips, melted
Directions:
Directions:
With a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the coconut oil, honey, and vanilla until very smooth.

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

Place this mixture in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to allow it to slightly harden (It will be far too sticky to handle at this point.)

Once the 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. (I found using a flat-bottomed glass periodically dipped in warm water worked the best)

Place the cookie sheet back in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to allow them to firm up once more.

While the discs are chilling, melt the chocolate chips.

Remove the discs from the freezer and dip them into the melted chocolate. Place them back onto the parchment paper and allow to set.

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

Personal Notes:
If the coconut oil mixture becomes too sticky or hard to handle at any point, just stick it back in the freezer for a few more minutes.
