12 oz. unsweetened, vegan dark chocolate, broken in pieces
2 tsp. peppermint spirits
3 tbsp. coconut oil
4 tbsp. xylitol

2) Remove chocolate mixture from stove, scoop out heaping teaspoons of chocolate mixture, roll into balls and place on a plate. 
3) Coat truffle balls with ground coconut.
4) Place in refrigerator overnight, or until firm.
5) Serve and enjoy!

Makes approximately 25 truffles.
