You will need!

• 1 tablespoon [easyazon_link identifier="B00CPZPYLS" locale="US" tag="thgisli03-20"]coconut oil[/easyazon_link]
• 3 tablespoons half n half
• 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1½ teaspoons [easyazon_link identifier="B004HFPNTW" locale="US" tag="thgisli03-20"]peppermint extract[/easyazon_link]
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• 3¾ cups powdered sugar
• 1 package chocolate CandiQuik or any chocolate melts

Directions:

Mix together coconut oil, 2 tablespoons of half n half, light corn syrup, lemon juice, peppermint extract and vanilla.

Now you will want to mix in the powdered sugar one cup at a time.  Once you get all the powdered sugar mixed in turn the speed up and let the mix become nice and creamy. If it happens to be a little crumbly you can add in a tablespoon of half n half.

Divide the dough into small balls (½ inch to 1 inch in size) using your hands, pat dough into ¼ inch thick. Place on a piece of wax paper lined tray and place in freezer for 3-4 hours.

Melt CandiQuik in the microwave or a melting pot so your chocolate is ready to dip.

Line a second tray with wax paper and remove mints from freezer. Dip bottom side in melted chocolate then using a spoon pour chocolate over top of mints to cover. Repeat!

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Not that they will ever last that long. 🙂
