Break chocolate into squares, place in a small bowl, then lower into a saucepan of gently boiling water.
Heat and stir until melted, then add peppermint essential oil and combine.
Drop buttons onto a reusable sheet of baking paper (you can use it again another time!), top with baby mint leaves, and place in fridge or freezer to set for 10-20 minutes.
Will keep for at least a week in a sealed container in the cupboard, or in the fridge. If you make them without the mint leaves, will keep for up to 2 months in the cupboard/fridge.
Notes
You can also use a cinnamon, clove, or orange oil, such as doTERRA’s protective immune-boosting OnGuard blend, for a wintry earthy feel (just reduce the drops to 8-10). Decorate with an almond or goji berry on top of each.
Another flavour option which is great is lavender - chocolate lavender is divine! Swap the peppermint oil for lavender essential oil, and top with lavender petals.
One more for you - chocolate lemon. Again, swap the pepp oil with lemon essential oil. So many options, and they’re all so easy!

To make this raw and refined sugar free, simply buy a chocolate that has both of these characteristics - my personal favourite is the Loving Earth bars which we have in our online store here.
