As you may have seen in a previous post, I’ve recently fallen in love with a company called Rasa Koffee. Rasa makes amazing blends of adapotgenic herbs and mushrooms that provide a clean, healthy, calm and focused energy boost. You can make Rasa in a french press just as you would coffee, OR you can have some fun with it, just as I did here!

Tips for making Peppermint Cacao Freezer Candy:

  • To make this completely RAW, replace the 3 tbs of 100% chocolate chips with 1 1/2 tablespoons of raw cacao powder or 3 tbs of raw cacao nibs, omit or use the sweetener of your choice, AND make sure you use sun-dried golden raisins or replace the raisins with 2 raw dates or any raw dried fruit of your choice.
  • To make the Sugar-Free version, be certain to use an alternative sweetener such as this one (my favorite).
  • To make this Nut-Free, replace the almond with pumpkin or sunflower seeds for very similar results!
  • I really like the subtle flavor and texture that the golden raisins add, but in a pinch, regular raisins or any other small dried fruit will do. I like to get my golden raisins in bulk from Natural Grocers.
  • These last well in airtight containers in the freezer for up to two weeks. They will slowly soften at room temperature, but I find it is okay if they sit out for up to 25 minutes before they start getting a bit soft.
  • You can blend the ingredients until they are completely smooth and creamy or leave it all a bit chunky (my preference). Your call!

  1. Definitely going to try these. We no longer shop at Natural Grocers due to how they’ve abused their customers since March 2020 (I’m sure they don’t miss my $900+ a month business; it’s the principle) but Azure Standard and Drug Emporium are my go-to for bulk raisins. I don’t use Rasa but I’ll use my adaptogenic blend of 14 mushrooms from Mushroom Harvest. Thank you for the inspiration!
