Ingredients

Instructions

  • 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!
  • If you'd like to learn more about the incredible therapeutic benefits of plant-based essential oils, and how you can use them in your life, check out my introductory workshop here.
  • 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.
