Ingredients You’ll Need

A short list, all working together to create that familiar mint chocolate flavour:

• 1 cup natural peanut butter — Creamy works best for a smooth texture.
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted — Helps the fat bombs firm up properly.
• 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or sweetener of choice) — Adds sweetness without the carbs.
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract — A little goes a long way; this gives the signature mint flavour.
• 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips — For those classic chocolate bites.
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder — Deepens the chocolate flavour and balances the sweetness.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Melt the coconut oil. Let it cool slightly so it doesn’t overpower the mixture.
2. Combine the peanut butter, sweetener, cocoa powder, and peppermint extract. Stir until smooth and evenly mixed.
3. Add the melted coconut oil. Mix until the texture becomes glossy and well combined.
4. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips. Stir gently so they stay intact.
5. Scoop into silicone molds or spoon onto a lined tray. Aim for small, even portions.
6. Freeze for 1–2 hours. They should be firm to the touch.
7. Store chilled and enjoy. Keep them in the fridge or freezer so they hold their shape.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using too much peppermint extract. More isn’t better here—too much can quickly overpower the chocolate.
• Adding coconut oil while it’s too hot. This can affect texture and melt the chocolate chips.
• Skipping the cocoa powder. It’s key for that rich, classic chocolate flavour.
• Leaving them out at room temperature too long. These are best enjoyed cold.
• Using chunky peanut butter unintentionally. Great if planned, surprising if not.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• Almond butter or cashew butter can replace peanut butter for a milder base.
• Butter instead of coconut oil will give a slightly softer texture.
• Dark chocolate chunks (sugar-free) can replace chocolate chips for a more rustic look.
• Vanilla extract can be added for extra depth alongside the mint.
• A pinch of sea salt enhances the chocolate flavour beautifully.
