Do you like chocolate and mint? This homemade coconut oil mint chocolate recipe is delicious, and a great way to add some healthy coconut oil to your diet.
I don’t think that these mint chocolates taste coconutty, but we eat a lot of coconut products here so my taste buds are probably dulled when it comes to coconut. If you don’t want your chocolates to have any coconut taste, just substitute refined coconut oil for the virgin coconut oil called for in the recipe.

Blender: I highly recommend using a blender for this recipe. It makes mixing very simple, plus the extra power of the blender ensures that the honey emulsifies with the rest of the ingredients. I use this blender.
Silicone chocolate molds: Silicone chocolate molds greatly simplify the process of making your own chocolates. I really like this set of chocolate molds, which is very economical but still high-quality, as far as I can tell. I’ve been making my own chocolates for years and have amassed a small collection of molds, which makes the process extra fun. 🙂 If you’re interested in making your own chocolates and other coconut oil treats, I highly recommend owning a few silicone molds.

If you don’t have any molds, you can also just pour your chocolate mixture into a baking dish lined with parchment paper. The downside of this method is that the chocolates melt very quickly when you chop them into smaller pieces, so it’s a pretty messy process.
