Peppermint Patties
CarbsPerServing:16g carbs total
Effort:Easy
Ingredients:
1 stick butter
1 ounce unsweetened
baking chocolate
8 splenda packets2 teaspoons unsweetened
cocoa powder — (2 to 3)

extract — pure - to taste

How to Prepare:
Heat butter and chocolate in
microwave until liquid form;
try not to boil the mixture!
Mix well then add the
splenda
4 packages at a time. Mix
well! Add the cocoa to make
a
thicker consistency. I
usually use between 2 and
3 tablespoons.
Then add the peppermint to
taste. Start with a

Put in muffin tin with

tablespoon per paper. Any
leftovers add evenly. Put in

Whip cream until stiff

How to Prepare:
In a small saucepan, mix flavored and unflavored gelatin. Stir it

gloppy-chunky blob, not unlike play-doh. Turn heat on medium, melt

Stick in freezer for 10 minutes to cool. If you don’t have miniature
bear molds, do this: take the rack out of your toaster oven and put
it on the counter. Drape a big sheet of aluminum foil over it. Cram
the aluminum foil down into the gaps,
leaving striplike molds. Presto! Gummy tapeworms. Yummy.
