These sound great. Does anyone know if a chocolate chip that doesn’t contain inulin (chicory root). I can’t use that 😕
Stephanie
Do you know if I could substitute canned coconut milk for the heavy cream to make these dairy free?
Brenda
I've not tested it but I think it will work.

I love mint and chocolate. These look wonderful for Valentine's day and I LOVE that you don't have to feel guilty about eating them! Might have to make up a batch and stick them in a cute little heart box for my Valentine. There's still time, right?

I wonder if a pack of stevia powder with a drop or two of vamilla would work, don't have any stevia liquid?!?!
Thanks for the help! 🙂
