Raw Thin Mint Peppermint Patties

It all started with a hankering for a peppermint patty. A week later, I have three delicious, perfected recipes that can combine in a multitude of ways. Chocolate wafer cookie? Thin mint? Peppermint Patty? Minty “Oreo”? You can make them all. And to top it off, I used leftover nut-milk pulp for the cookies.

Raw Mint “Oreos”

 

All of the above were made from just three recipes. They are: Chocolate Cookies, Mint Filling and Chocolate Coating. From those three recipes, you can make all the options pictured!

I have been working on a recipe for a hard chocolate coating that will stay shiny but not be sticky. I have no patience for tempering and want a great taste. After a few experiments, I found a formula I love. And it works great for all of the treats above. The recipe is below.

A quick note: at times, I find things for the kitchen that I just can not resist. One of my latest transgressions was this Mini Whoopie Pie Pan. I knew I would never make mini whoopie pies, but I could see the potential for raw food. It makes a great mold! Just pack the raw dough into the cups, freeze and pop it out. If you are into that sort of thing, this pan works great. (click the link to order one)

    Faith: Since both are powders, I would think that you could just substitute one for another. Although, I don’t use carob so am not sure about the bitterness of it. I would add sweetener slowly and taste.

    so, I know a lot of your commenters demand substitutions etc!!lol….. I try to appreciate what people have to share and do my own research for substitutions. But I also know you like a good challenge. so, I’m throwing it out there, if you are at all inclined……a carob version of this that will make a good coating. I love chocolate but it keeps me up at night!!!!!!! and find that carob, especially when paired with some other substantial flavor, like mint, is quite pleasant. thanks!!!!!!!

    What other filling can I put in instead of mint? How can I make a creamy and not to chunky peanut butter filling?
    Thanks.

      Put in what ever you want. I would suggest you search for a recipe for the filling that you are looking for.

    The chocolate wafer recipe makes 24. If you are doing the cookies that take 2 wafers, you will get 12.

    4 in one! You’re spoiling us! I think I’d have to go for the full-on “Raw Chocolate Covered Mint Oreos”
    Great way to use up almond milk pulp too.

    These looks so amazing! One question, in the first & third recipe, it calls for peppermint extract, but in the second it calls for peppermint oil. Is that correct? Is that a herbal infusion oil or essential oil?
