Description

Ingredients

• ¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon coconut oil, melted and divided
• 1½ teaspoons peppermint extract
• 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (I used enjoy life brand)
• sea salt

Directions

• In a small mixing bowl mix together shredded coconut, 2 tablespoons coconut oil, and peppermint extract. Using a tablespoon, scoop out mixture and form into balls/macaroon shapes. Place on a parchment paper lined dish in the refrigerator and let harden for at least 30 minutes.
• When the coconut is hardened, make the chocolate. Melt chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil by using the double broiler method or in the microwave. I did this in 20 second increments, stirring after each time. Be careful not to burn.
• Dip the macaroons in the milted chocolate, covering completely. Place back on the parchment paper and sprinkle with sea salt. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until chocolate hardens.
• Keep in the refrigerator or a cool place. Enjoy!
