Chocolate Peppermint Gummy Treats

Jump to Recipe

Chocolate Peppermint Gummy Treats savorylotus.com

OK, I promise that this is my very last chocolate peppermint dessert of the season.  I’ve been mildly obsessed with raw cacao and peppermint extract.  But, hey!  Who doesn’t love gummy treats?  So here is one more holiday reipe for you:  Chocolate Peppermint Gummy Treats.

We don’t take a lot of supplements at our house, but gelatin is definitely something we consume on a regular basis.  There are so many health benefits of gelatin that I make sure to get as much into our diets as possible.  Making homemade bone broth is my favorite way to get gelatin into my diet.  Strong hair, nails, bones, and teeth, as well as a healthy gut lining are good things to have. Right?  Read more HERE on the health benefits of gelatin.

But my family LOVES when I make gummy treats.  Raspberry, Strawberry, Coconut Mango… they don’t care.  They love them all.  But this recipe is just for me.  After making my Peppermint Chocolate Cookie Balls and my Flourless Peppermint Brownies, I was hooked on the rich taste of raw cacao and peppermint together.  So why not make them into a gummy treat?

This recipe works great with cute little molds like THIS but you can just pour it into a glass baking dish and cut after it sets.

Like I said before, these little gummies were made for me.  Unfortunately, my family found them and quickly decided that these were their favorite kind.  I guess I have to make a double batch next time.  ENJOY!

    I’m not crazy about mint-chocolate combos but I was wondering if you think vanilla would be a good replacementfor mint. I don’t see why not, but just wanted to see if it has been tried.

      I think vanilla would be delicious with these gummy treats!

      yes, any kind of milk will do. It will just taste a little different with each type of milk. 🙂

    Hi Katja – I made these and they are delicious! My niece and nephew loved them.
    Did you see the warning about Nativas cadmium levels? Was very disappointed about this.

    Hi! What is the volume of one can of coconut milk, please? We have a few different sizes in Australia, commonly 270ml (8oz?) And 400ml. I’m guessing you’re using 400ml, but wanted to check. Thanks.

    These are delicious.I left out the peppermint, as we don’t like peppermint-chocolate combo, and used vanilla extract.Next time I will have to half the recipe as I did not have enough room for all the molds (I used 4 of the silikomart brand and some leftover).My only problem is that the bottom has a layer of fat from the coconut milk and my kids don’t like that.What can be done about that?

      Hmmm… I have never had my coconut milk separate before. What brand did you use? Did you get the mixture too hot- like was it boiling? I’m just trying to figure out what made it separate. I make gummies all of the time with coconut milk and haven’t seen this.

    Love these. I added extra cacao powder and these taste like brownies. The ratio between coconut milk and gelatin is perfect for me. Thank you for this recipe

💧💧DRAINAGE IS ESSENTIAL • 3 easy things yo 💧💧DRAINAGE IS ESSENTIAL • 3 easy things you can do to get things flowing 💧💧

1️⃣ HYDRATION 💧💧💧• drink half your body weight in ounces every day • start the day with 32 ounces of clean water in the first 1-2 hours that you’re awake • drink clean, filtered water • tap water can be loaded with heavy metals, pesticides, + pharmaceuticals 😵• water makes up 60 percent of our total body weight + 90 percent of brain weight 🧠• adequate water intake is essential for the body to function properly • water delivers important nutrients to all of our cells, especially muscle cells (energy!!), helps to move the digestive process along through the system,  helps with constipation, moves toxins through the body faster, and optimizes kidney function (detox!) • without adequate water, toxins can’t be excreted + then can build up in the body 

2️⃣ BOWEL MOMENTS 💩💩 • aim for 1-2 good-sized bowel movements per day (think at least banana-sized 🍌) without feeling the need to strain or feeling of incomplete evacuation afterwards • if the food that we eat is not traveling through the body fast enough, it will sit in the bowels + ferment/rot and the toxins get reabsorbed into the body 😩+ can cause abdominal pain, bloating, + gas 💨• prioritize hydration to keep food moving + eat plenty of fiber to speed up digestion • avoid inflammatory foods • take magnesium to help things keep flowing • practice enemas to hydrate colon + to increase peristalsis • get a professional colonic to hydrate, tone, + clean large intestine • keep things flowing out • better out than in 😉

3️⃣ MOVEMENT 🤸🏽‍♀️🏃‍♀️💃🏻🚴🏽‍♂️• move your body every day • walk, run, jump, dance, ride a bike • take 2 minute movement tbreaks throughout the day • the lymphatic system is one of our main waste removal systems + relies on skeletal muscle contractions to keep flowing • prioritize exercise + walking • hot Epsom salt baths stimulate circulation, improve lymphatic drainage + promote sweating 🛁🛁• sweating in a sauna stimulates the lymphatic system to release excess water + toxins 💦💦
