These gluten-free mini peppermint patties are a healthy sugar-free sweet treat for the holidays. I used Swerve confectioners sweetener and sugar-free chocolate to make my mini peppermint patties. You can use regular milk or dark chocolate chips if you are not wanting a sugar-free treat.

With all the sweet gluten-free holiday treats this time of the year it is nice to have a sugar-free option that tastes great. Gluten-free mini peppermint patties that are easy to make, no-bake and a delicious homemade sugar-free treat for the holidays. I like to add a few of the mini peppermint patties to my cookie boxes that I give out for food gifts.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED:

• Butter
• Cream Cheese
• Swerve Confectioners Sweetener
• Peppermint Extract
• Lilys No Sugar Added Chocolate Chips
• Coconut Oil

There is nothing better than a peppermint patty at Christmas time. Cream cheese and butter are whipped together as well as sugar-free confectioners sweetener and peppermint extract. All blended together to make a sugar-free filling. Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together and it forms the shell of the peppermint patties. I like to make mine in a silicone mini muffin pan for ease of removal and it keeps the patties in the shape I want.

A creamy minty filing and a rich chocolatey coating that will remind you of York peppermint patties- just without all the sugar. I like to use Lily’s sugar-free chocolate for it tastes just like the regular ones. You can usually find them in your local organic store.

Peppermint just speaks of Christmas to me. It could be because of all the candy cans everywhere this time of the year. I wanted to make a sugar-free healthier version of a York peppermint patty and I think I accomplished the task.

HOW TO MAKE THE PEPPERMINT PATTIES:

1. Add the butter and cream cheese into a mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer.
2. Add the Swerve confectioners sweetener and peppermint extract and beat until creamy and smooth.
3. In a saucepan add the coconut oil and the chocolate chips and melt on low heat.
4. Add about a tsp of melted chocolate into each silicone mini muffin cup. Use a spoon to spread chocolate up the sides of cups.
5. Freeze for 10 minutes.
6. Scoop about a tsp of filling into each cup and smooth flat.
7. Top with melted chocolate until filling is covered.
8. Freeze for 15 minutes and then store in the refrigerator or freezer.
