Peppermint Snowballs

These Peppermint snowballs are a MUST on your holiday menu!  My sweet friend, Aleksandra of Olenko’s Kitchen was kind enough to send me her favorite essential oils from Young Living, and I used the Peppermint in this recipe.  Fresh Coconut and Dates pair perfectly with Peppermint.  My snowballs are refined sugar free and a delicious raw treat!  It only takes a few drops to turn these raw goodies into a Peppermint Paradise!  These are one of my new favorite holiday indulgences, and I will definitely be making them every year.
