DIRECTIONS
- Soften coconut - you can use the microwave, or a double boiler, or submerge your container in hot water. In a very warm house it might be soft enough already!
- Stir in peppermint extract and cocoa powder until thoroughly mixed. Taste as you go - I didn't measure how much I used so this is an estimate.
- Pour into candy molds, mini muffin tins, ice cube trays, very small cups, or whatever else you need to get the shape you'd like.
- Refrigerate or freeze until solid, and store in the refrigerator.
