Mint Choc Candy Cane Bark
Course: Gluten free, Dairy Free, Refined sugar free, vegan12
servings15
minutes1
hourMakes one 8×8 pan (thinner) or loaf pan (thicker)
Ingredients
1 cup dark chocolate chips (I like enjoy life)
1/3 cup coconut oil softened
1/3 cup coconut butter softened
2 Tablespoon pure maple syrup
2 -3 drops of peppermint essential oils (food safe)* (see note below)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3 candy canes or crushed peppermint candies**
Optional Toppings : mini marshmellows
Directions
- Place chocolate chips in a double boiler or a glass bowl over a boiling pot of water and melt until the chocolate is a smooth consistency. Or melt in the microwave.
- Pour melted chocolate into an 8×8 inch pan lined with parchment paper. And freeze until solid. About 15 minutes.
- In a bowl, slightly melt the coconut oil and coconut butter until it’s a thick icing consistency. Whisk together with vanilla, maple syrup and peppermint extract/oil. Take the pan out of the freezer and spread/pour the white coconut mixture over the chocolate and smooth.
- Top with crushed candy canes or peppermint candies. Add more topppings to your hearts content. Place in the freezer to set completely (about 1-2 hours). Once set, remove from the freezer and break or cut into pieces. Store in the freezer in an airtight container until ready to be enjoyed.
Notes
- *if using peppermint extract (like a vanilla extract) like I did in my video, add 1/2 tsp at a time and taste until it’s reached your desired mintyness. I used about 1.5tsp Essential oil drops are obviously much more concentrated.
- ** I use Yum Earth Brand as they do not use Red Dye number 40 which can cause mood swings and behavioural changes especially in children.
