This incredible recipe is one of my staples when I teach my essential oil classes. There is extensive research about the benefits of peppermint oil.

Some of the most common peppermint oil uses include:

• Reduces stomach aches

• Soothe digestive issues

• Freshens bad breath

• Relieves headaches

• Antimicrobial properties

• Improves mental focus

• Clears respiratory tract

• Boosts energy

• Releases tight muscles

• Cost-effective natural solution to replace pharmaceutical drugs

I cannot honestly think of one reason why anyone on the planet would choose not to have peppermint oil in his or her medicine cabinet at home!

So I created this gorgeous recipe. Even if you are not a fan of chocolate and peppermint, I wasn't, this is seriously incredible!

Ingredients:

2 tbs raw cacao powder

3 drops peppermint essential oil, certified to be used internally

1 tbs almond butter

2 tbs almond meal or flour

6 dates

1tsp coconut oil melted

Method:

Start by blending the dates and the coconut oil so that you have a soft mixture. Then add the almond butter and pulse a bit more. Add all the other ingredients until you have a dough. Once everything is mixed together roll small balls with your hands. Dust the balls with cacao powder and place in the fridge.
