Peppermint Coconut Snowballs are the perfect holiday treat. They have a festive combination of peppermint and chocolate and are sweetened with honey. They are super easy to make and can be whipped up in 10 minutes. I like to store Peppermint Coconut Snowballs in the freezer so I always have some on hand for unexpected holiday guests.

I love using honey are a natural sugar substitute in my baking because it adds a delicious flavour and texture. Honey is also bursting with health benefits like being:

• Antibacterial, antimicrobial and antiseptic
• Perfect for cold and flu season due to vitamin C content
• High in energy-producing B-vitamins
• Geat for the skin due to vitamin E content
