Description

Ingredients

• ¾ cup butter, softened
• ¾ cup coconut oil, warmed to liquid state (I prefer the refined)
• ½-2/3 cup gentle sweet, or equivalent of your favorite sweetener (see chart here)
• 6-8 drops or to taste purepeppermint essential oil- your favorite brand, or 1-2 drops peppermint candy oil, OR 1 teaspoon peppermint extract (a distant third choice that I dont recommend for best results)
• ⅓ cup cocoa powder, this is my favorite brand
• ½ cup almond butter- a creamy brand. I like Aldis

Directions

• In a small mixing bowl, combine softened butter, liquid coconut oil, sweetener, and 6 drops of a good food grade peppermint essential oil (or 1 tsp peppermint extract, but I by FAR recommend the oil).
• Stir well until fully blended.
• Set ⅓ of this mixture aside in another bowl.
• To the rest of the mixture, add cocoa and almond butter. Stir until well combined.
• Pour & spread into a pie plate or a square glass dish. I use an 8x6 pyrex glass storage container with the lid. 8x8 or smaller works best.
• Gently spoon the white peppermint fudge over the chocolate fudge mixture, and swirl the two together with a fork or knife.
• Refrigerate to set. When fully chilled, cut with a knife, and enjoy!
