chocolate-mint candy bar minis | Yep, I’m a fan

chocolate-mint candy bar minis | Yep, I’m a fan of chocolate candy!!! 🙌 But this is one of my favorite ways to do it. I use my recipe for no-cook cocoa-peppermint power patties (see recipe below or link in bio!). 💚 Then I press it into a 6-in square on a silpat-lined small baking sheet; freeze 10min; transfer square slab directly onto cutting board; cut into 36 mini squares; drizzle & smear w/6 oz melted bittersweet chocolate 🍫 (w/a hint of coconut oil, peppermint extract & sea salt), letting it drip slightly down the sides; sprinkle w/sea salt flakes; chill & eat! 😋

cocoa-peppermint power patties
6 oz dried pitted dates (the moister the better)
1/3 cup shelled hemp seeds
1/3 cup shelled salted roasted pistachios
1/3 cup natural creamy almond butter, no sugar or salt added
3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 tsp organic peppermint flavor (non-alcoholic)
1/8 tsp sea salt

Blend all ingredients in a food processor on low speed until well combined, but mixture still has some texture.
*Hint: Add unsweetened vanilla plant-based milk by the tsp if need more moisture.
