Gluten Free Peppermint Patties
Ingredients
½ cup coconut oil
¼ cup agave nectar
½ teaspoon peppermint oil (I used organic)
½ to 1 cup dark chocolate 73%
1 Scoop of Whey Crisps
Directions
In a small bowl, combine coconut oil, agave and peppermint oil, mixing with a spoon. Smash clumps of coconut oil against side of bowl until mixture is smooth. Freeze mixture for a few minutes until it starts to harden, then remove from freezer. Use a 1.5 teaspoon ice cream scoop to measure out little balls onto a parchment lined plate. Place plate in freezer to firm up mint balls; when firm, remove from freezer. Squish balls down into flat little patties on parchment paper. Dip patties into melted chocolate (use spoon to drop patty into melted chocolate, dip and remove). Place patties on parchment paper to harden (takes 10 minutes though on a summer day you may need to refreeze)
Makes about 12 patties

White Chocolate Oreo Truffles
Ingredients
1 box of Candy Cane Joe Joes or Peppermint Oreos
8 ounces reduced fat cream cheese, at room temperature
10 oz bag of white chocolate chips (you mind need a little extra or use semi sweet chocolate for variety which is what I did here)
Optional sprinkles, extra Oreo crumbs or candy cane pieces for decoration on top
1 Scoop of Whey Crisps
Directions
In a food processor, grind up oreos until a fine consistency throughout.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese and oreo crumbs with your hands, kneeding until it becomes a dough like consistency.
Line a cookie with wax paper. Form small 1/2 inch balls with the dough and either put in fridge to harden or move onto step 4. It doesn’t really matter to be honest.On low, heat up the chocolate in a small sauce pan, stirring consistently until it’s a smooth mixture. You can use a microwave as well.Using two forks or spoons, drop one ball in at a time and coat with white chocolate mixture. Transfer to wax paper and let stand for 1 hour or until chocolate is hard. Store in the refrigerator.
