Equipment

Mixing bowl
Whisk
Silicone candy mold or mini muffin pan
measuring cups and spoons
Spatula

Ingredients

For the peppermint chocolate fat bombs

1/2 cup refined coconut oil melted and slightly cooled
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup finely blanched almond flour
3 tablespoons powdered erythritol or erythritol-stevia blend or to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter softened; or use coconut oil for dairy-free
1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract start with 1/2 teaspoon and adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional for extra depth of flavor
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

Add the melted and slightly cooled coconut oil, softened butter, powdered erythritol, peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and sea salt to a medium mixing bowl.
Whisk until the sweetener begins to dissolve and the mixture looks smooth and glossy.
Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder and add the almond flour to the bowl.
Whisk or stir with a spatula until the cocoa and almond flour are fully incorporated and the mixture is thick, smooth, and pourable, tasting and adjusting peppermint or sweetener if needed.
Place a silicone candy mold or a mini muffin pan lined with paper liners on a small tray or baking sheet for easy transfer.
Carefully spoon or pour the peppermint chocolate mixture into the cavities, filling each about 3/4 full to yield about 16 portions.
Gently tap the tray on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles and level the tops.
Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and chill until the fat bombs are fully set and firm, about 60 minutes, or place in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes for faster setting.
Once firm, pop the fat bombs out of the silicone molds or remove the paper liners and transfer them to an airtight container.
Store the fat bombs in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months, serving them cold for the best truffle-like texture and peppermint flavor.

Notes

For the best texture, use refined coconut oil if you prefer a neutral flavor or unrefined coconut oil if you like a hint of coconut alongside the peppermint and chocolate. If your kitchen is very warm, keep the fat bombs stored in the coldest part of the refrigerator or in the freezer so they stay firm. To make them dairy-free, replace the butter with an equal amount of coconut oil and confirm that your sweetener is dairy-free. For a gourmet touch, lightly sprinkle the tops with a pinch of flaky sea salt before chilling, or swirl in a small amount of unsweetened shredded coconut to the mixture. Always taste and adjust peppermint extract gradually, since a little goes a long way and too much can create an overpowering, toothpaste-like flavor.
