Ingredients:

8 ounces butter

⅛ -¼ tsp peppermint extract*

3 TBSP raw honey

2 TBSP raw cacao powder*

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

Have the butter at a very soft room temperature.  You can mix by hand with a wooden spoon, but a small hand held mixer makes the job so much faster and easier. 

Add in the peppermint extract, and then gently add the cacao powder, honey and sea salt.  Mix well and taste along the way to ensure you have enough of the peppermint and/or cacao to your liking. 

Spoon mixed ingredients into a disposable pastry bag, or a zip-lock bag.  You can use a metal pastry tip, or just cut a small hole in the corner of the bag to pipe the mixture in bite sized bits onto a baking sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper.

Put the baking sheet in fridge for a couple of hours and then transfer hardened buttermints to an airtight storage container to keep in the fridge.

Notes: Flavors (*) are only contained by your imagination!  Chocolate (cacao) & peppermint; orange oil; cinnamon; ginger & molasses.  Trust your taste buds and experiment!
