- 1/2 tsp peppermint flavoring
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup collagen peptides (45g)

Instructions
Make the Filling
- Melt the cacao butter: place the cacao butter in a small sauce pan and melt on the stove top, over low heat.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted cacao butter, almond butter, maple syrup, peppermint flavoring and vanilla extract.
- Using a spatula, mix in the collagen peptides until the mixture starts to thicken. Fold the chopped chocolate into the dough.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto a small, parchment-lined baking sheet or large plate. Freeze the bites for 10-15 minutes to harden.
Make the Chocolate Coating
- Combine the dark chocolate, coconut oil and peppermint flavoring in a small sauce pan. Place the pan on the stove top and melt over low heat, stirring every so often until the chocolate is fully melted.
- Grab the bites from the freezer and dip them in the dark chocolate. Place them on a sheet of parchment paper to dry.
- Before the chocolate has fully set, add a pinch of sea salt.
