Notes
*IBD-AID: Cocoa butter is not a preferred oil for IBD-AID, so this treat should only be consumed on special occasions and in small amounts. †Peppermint extracts vary in potency. I use Nielsen Massey and it is very strong. Only the tiniest amount is needed or the candies will be overpowered. If using other brands, test with ⅛ tsp first and add more as needed.
