1 1/2 cups chopped dark chocolate (or substitute chocolate chips or any other type of chopped chocolate)
1/3 cup smooth almond butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon food-grade peppermint essential oil (or substitute 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract)

Add 1 1/2 cups chopped dark chocolate to a pot on the stove set to low heat.
Cook, stirring constantly, until the chocolate has melted, then immediately remove the pot from the heat.
Add 1/3 cup smooth almond butter, then mix well (it’s important to mix in the almond butter before adding the other ingredients to prevent the chocolate from seizing).
Add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/8 teaspoon food-grade peppermint essential oil (or peppermint extract) to the pot of melted chocolate, then mix well.
Divide that mixture evenly into a mini muffin pan with 12 slots lined with mini paper baking cups.
Place the muffin pan in the fridge for at least 90 minutes before removing the chocolates and serving.

Store these chocolates in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
