1 Tablespoon vanilla extract (you can make awesome DIY vanilla extract at home)
Raw Honey (or other natural sweetener like maple syrup or stevia)
Pinch of sea salt
Optional: 2-4 Drops peppermint essential oil (more on essential oils here)

Measure 1 cup of coconut oil and scoop it out into a mixing bowl. Whip the coconut oil with a stand or hand mixer until it’s light and fluffy (like this). Note: If your coconut oil is room temperature and already liquid you can skip this step.
Mix the whipped coconut oil, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt together. Mix well and slowly add honey or sweetener of choice.
