- Add in the Stevia, peppermint oil, and salt to taste.
- Mix well and scoop into small candy molds.
- Place molds into the fridge for at least an hour, or until set.
- Pop chocolate peppermint bites out of molds and place them into a Ziploc bag or any sealed container.
- Store in the fridge. Makes approximately 2 dozen chocolate peppermint bites, depending on the size of your candy mold. Will last up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
Notes
*Note: I only use therapeutic-grade essential oils in my recipes, especially when my kids are eating them! The essential oils you find at the store often contain fillers and other non-essential oil ingredients. You always want them to be pure!
