How to Prepare Chocolate Coconut Peppermint Bites [Vegan]

Place the coconut butter in a small pot and put on low heat until it melts, then take off heat and stir in the rest of the ingredients.
Follow the same instructions for the peppermint part.
Scoop the peppermint mixture into cupcake papers and put in the freezer until solid, then cover the tops in a thin layer of chocolate, freeze until solid again and finally dip the bottoms and sides into the remaining chocolate mixture.

Low-fat option: use thick date paste instead of coconut oil. This will change the texture but it'll still taste awesome.
