Equipment

Pot or saucepan
9" x 9" pan
Parchment paper

Ingredients

Dark Chocolate Layer

15 oz peppermint chocolate bars (5 chocolate bars)

White Chocolate Layer

1 cup coconut butter or coconut manna
1/4 cup coconut oil
4 tablespoon maple syrup
2 teaspoon peppermint extract

Optional Topping

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 9" pan with parchment paper and pour the melted chocolate bars onto the parchment paper. Spread the chocolate into a thin, even layer.
Place the pan 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!

Notes

Be sure to store this bark in the fridge, or else the white chocolate layer will get soft.
If you can't find vegan peppermint chocolate bars, instead use regular vegan chocolate bars and add 2 teaspoon peppermint extract to the melted chocolate.
