Description

Celebrate the holidays with vegan peppermint bark! Layers of dark chocolate, white chocolate, and candy canes make up this festive treat!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup cocoa butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut butter (or sub cashew butter)*
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract, divided
  • 1/2 cup crushed candy canes

Instructions

  1. Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second intervals until completely melted through. Once it is fully melted, mix in 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract.
  3. Place the chocolate layer in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes to harden, but not completely harden or else the layers will separate.
  4. Create a double boiler. Pour 2-3 inches of water in a pot, and place a heat-safe bowl over top with the cocoa butter. Melt the cocoa butter (about five minutes).
  5. Add the coconut butter, coconut oil, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined and remove from heat when everything is melted through.
  6. Pour in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract, and pour the white chocolate layer over the dark chocolate layer.
  7. Sprinkle the crushed up peppermint over the white chocolate layer. Place in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set.
  8. Break apart pieces and enjoy!

Notes

You can use either cashew or coconut butter in this recipe. The coconut butter will give it more of a coconut flavor. But if you're nut-free or want the less expensive option, coconut butter is the choice for you!
