Sounds delicious! How much peppermint oil do you use in this recipe?

Oops, my bad. I forgot to put the measurement for the peppermint oil. It is 12 drops of peppermint oil for the 6 cups. I often only make a 3rd of a batch for myself. Otherwise, I would be eating way too much of it. (=_=)

For the 6 cups of coconut, I just buy the organic bagged shredded coconut. So I am not sure how many coconuts it would take to make 6 cups. (=_=)

you can probably use fresh peppermint leaves instead of extract. grind it first in a coffee grinder or some such grinder.

Thanks for the idea of blending coconut to a buttery consistency for fudge! :)

I’m sorry you had disappointment with this recipe. I love it. It’s like raw candy to me. If you just keep the coconut running in the food processor, the oil will begin to separate and begin to convert into the buttery consistency. I think I goofed by using the word “blend.” I am sorry for that. I have since changed it.

dngretsch, you probably used a mature coconut instead of a young one… if you did, it probably WOULD be lumpy, gritty, and disgusting. I learned that the hard way :(
