Servings
Ingredients
- 175 grams Edamame Puffs, ~2 1/4 cups I use SmartforLife
- 196 grams Vegan Mini Marshmallows I use Dandies
- 2 tbsp Vegan Butter
- 3/4 tbsp Peppermint Extract
- 1/4 cup Vegan Mini Chocolate Chips I use Enjoy Life
- 1/2 tbsp Coconut Oil
- Green Food Coloring
Instructions
- In a pot, melt butter on low heat.
- Stir in the peppermint extract and food coloring. (I start out with just a few drops of food coloring and add more in a later step, if needed).
- Add in the marshmallows and stir. You want to cover all the marshmallows with the melted butter. They should create a big, melted blob. At this point, add more food coloring if the color isn't right.
- Once you've reached the right color and everything is melted, add in the edamame puffs. Mix well; it takes awhile to get everything well mixed and covered (you can usually turn the heat off for this step).
- Dump the mixture into a 9x9" square dish and smooth them out.
- While they cool - in a small microwave safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips and coconut oil for 30 seconds. Remove and stir, microwave in 20 - 30 second increments (to avoid burning), stirring in between until completely melted. For reference, it only took about 60 secs when I did it.
- Add the melted chocolate on top of the crispy treats. I attempted a cute drizzle that did not turn out cute; you could also just evenly spread it over the treats so that it doesn't look like a failed art project!
- Throw them in the freezer for 10 - 15 minutes, or until the chocolate topping hardens and then you can remove them!
- I would probably let them get to room temp before you attempt to eat them.
