Homemade Dark Chocolate Mint Patties



Mint patties covered in dark chocolate? Delicious and very nourishing for your body. Incomparably healthy for you! Consisting of mostly cashews and coconut, this is a treat that can only help you receive glowing skin and strong nails and many health benefits.

The York Peppermint Pattie made by Hershey Company has this list of ingredients in the pattie:
SUGAR; CORN SYRUP; SEMISWEET CHOCOLATE ( CHOCOLATE; SUGAR; COCOA; MILK FAT; COCOA BUTTER; SOY LECITHIN; PGPR, EMULSIFIER; VANILLIN, ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR) ; INVERT SUGAR; EGG WHITES; OIL OF PEPPERMINT

We all know by now that processed sugar and corn syrup are extremely harmful to your health. Conventional candy always contains processed sugar or corn syrup plus unsafe additives.  Make these delicious mint patties yourself with my recipe...
