Vegan Peppermint Bark
This vegan peppermint bark is the perfect holiday treat! With the perfect mint chocolate flavour you will love how easy it is to make. It's also gluten free, dairy free and paleo!
Ingredients
Dark Chocolate Layer
- 12 oz peppermint chocolate bars (4 bars)
White Chocolate Layer
- 1 cup coconut butter or coconut manna
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp peppermint extract
Optional Topping (omit for paleo)
- 4-6 candy canes, crushed
Instructions
-
Melt the chocolate bars by putting them in a microwave safe dish and heating on high in 30 second intervals until melted.
-
Line a 9" x 13" pan with parchment paper and pour the melted chocolate bars onto the parchment paper. Spread the chocolate into a thin, even layer.
-
Place the baking sheet in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden. While it is in the fridge, crush the candy canes (if using) and make the white chocolate layer.
-
To make the white chocolate layer, place a small pot on the stove on low heat and add the ingredients for the white chocolate layer, stirring until the ingredients are melted together.
-
Pour the melted white chocolate layer over the chocolate layer and sprinkle with the crushed candy canes (if using). Place the pan back in the fridge for 1-2 hours, until hard. Break the bark into desired sized pieces and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- Be sure to store this bark in the fridge, or else the white chocolate layer will get soft.
- If you are paleo, use paleo compliant chocolate bars and to omit the candy canes.
- If you can't find vegan peppermint chocolate bars, instead use regular vegan chocolate bars and add 2 tsp peppermint extract to the melted chocolate.
