  • Cashews
  • Dates
  • Coconut (desiccated/shredded works best)
  • Cocoa – cacao powder will work well too.
  • Chia Seeds – can be substituted with the same quantity of other seeds if you wish.
  • Peppermint essence or oil – this is to personal taste, but if your using a high quality food-grade peppermint oil, you will only need to use about 3 drops.
