Dark Chocolate Peppermint Bark
Dark chocolate and peppermint bark is a classic Christmas treat! And, it's so simple to make. My veganized version can be made with under 15 minutes hands-on time. Wrap it up in cute cellophane bags for lovely Christmas gifts.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces dark chocolate *check to ensure it's vegan
- 12 ounces vegan white chocolate
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- ½ cup candy canes or peppermint candies crushed
Instructions
- Line a 9x12 inch pan with tin foil or parchment paper.
- Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until all the chocolate is melted.
- Pour the chocolate into the prepared baking tray and tilt the tray until the chocolate evenly coats the surface of the pan. Transfer the pan to the fridge and chill for 20 minutes.
- Put the candy canes in a sealable plastic bag and smash them with a rolling pin.
- Melt the vegan white chocolate and peppermint extract in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir and repeat until all the chocolate is melted.
- Pour the white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer and tilt the pan to ensure even coverage. Sprinkle the candy cane pieces over the top and chill in the fridge for an additional 20 minutes.
Notes
❄️Storage Instructions
To store dark chocolate peppermint bark, it's best to keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. If the temperature is warm, I recommend refrigerating it to prevent the chocolate from melting. Layer the bark between sheets of parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking. Properly stored, Christmas bark can last for several weeks. Just be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.Nutrition
