6 tablespoons butter, melted
Peppermint Cream
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup heavy cream (3.47g sugar)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (.53g sugar)
3 teaspoons peppermint extract
2 tablespoons powdered sugar (15.65g sugar)
Chocolate Coating
4 ounces dark chocolate (41.63g sugar)

2. In a bowl, combine crushed graham cracker with melted butter and mix well.
3. Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper.
4. Fill pan with graham cracker crumbs and pat down to create one even, compressed crust. Place in freezer.
