both lovely
and silky while
melting in your mouth
and
they’re good for you

did I mention..
this recipe only requires
two main ingredients

begin with a great 70% dark chocolate
perhaps Lindt Swiss chocolate
then add half as much
coconut oil

we all know that a little dark chocolate a day is good for you
and coconut oil has its own health benefits

melt together
and let cool slightly

gently separate your foil candy cups onto a small tray
pour in the chocolate
and refrigerate

of course all sorts of other surprises
could be added..
a few drops of peppermint flavoring

and
crushed peppermint candy cane
topping

perhaps a sprinkling of
Wilton Sparkling Sugar..

mixed nuts, raisins, craisins

snippets of marshmallow
would add texture..
but the lovely feature of this chocolate is its ability to melt instantly in your mouth
like ice

I’m so enjoying my Christmas Scandinavian theme this year!
God Jul!
Absolutely lovely!
I have to try to make these… I do have all the ingredients, including the small paper cups so… NO excuses! 😉
These are gorgeous, Smidge and I love how there’s so few ingredients. With the crushed candy cane they are very Christmasy and I can see these would make wonderful hostess gifts xx
You come up with the most brilliant and delicious ideas not to mention easy. My favorite is the crushed candy cane.
Hi Barbara,
Those look really delicious, love dark chocolate! I printed your recipe, thank you
Did you see my peanut butter cookie recipe I posted?
No, Michael.. but I’m off to take a look:)
Tusen takk! What a glorious sweet. I think the mint is ideal, to further enhance the chill of these cool treats. Elegant simplicity.
xo!
Beautiful looking post and lovely Christmas idea. Our grand children will love these….thanks.
Absolutely lovely Smidge!
🙂 Mandy xo
So pretty! So easy! Love…
Only you can take 2 ingredients, combine them and make them look absolutely gorgeous!
I’m off to buy paper cups!
Oh, these are so pretty and look so healthy and delicious! I love your blog, it is so calm and pretty. Gorgeous photos and recipe!
Pinning!
Fun idea especially with all the different variations!
These look so decadent but not totally destructive! I love all the ways you can change these up.
Barb, you can make anything look amazing!! How simple and sweet these are! It’s great to have some quick recipes on hand for last minute guests. I think the ones with the crushed candy cane are my favorite!
Gosh, these are super looking! Love the peppermint option, too. And these are so easy to make! My kind of deish – thanks so much.
What great little chocolates and so easy! I just picked my first jar of coconut oil and I already have a bar of chocolate. I’ll be making these tomorrow! Thanks Barbara!
Barbara, you have become more Swedish than what I’m. Ischoklad is a must for Christmas and we all love to eat it.
I love all the different flavors you have invented. Something completely new to me, but I’m sure I would love them all. Except the peppermint – don’t like chocolate and mint together. Ate to many “After Eight” many years ago.
Barbara, please don’t try to make “Lutfisk” a biggest tradition dish for Christmas – you will not like it. I love it.
So pretty! These would make lovely gifts.
These came out wonderful! I used milk chocolate instead, added a bit of peppermint extract and topped them with crushed candy cane pieces. I was a bit worried about how liquid-y the mixture came out, but in the end, they were beautiful. They’re going to make a lovely edition to my Christmas treat boxes this year.
