I have shared a delicious dark chocolate almond bark recipe, and many requested a peppermint version! So here’s my creation, a two-layer chocolate bark made with a combination of peppermint-flavored dark chocolate and topped with dairy-free white chocolate. The addition of crushed candy cane on top is absolutely amazing in terms of color and texture!
Ingredients and Substitutions
Let’s see how you can make this lovely Christmas bark recipe at home.
Dark Chocolate – I am using 70% dark chocolate bars, but you can use higher grades like 78% or even 85% to strengthen the dark chocolate flavor and decrease sugar. Peppermint Extract – for a stronger peppermint flavor. White Chocolate Chips – I use vegan white chocolate melts from Sweet Williams to make vegan peppermint bark. Crushed Peppermint-Flavored Candy Canes – Most commercial candy canes are made with sugar and peppermint.
How To Make Chocolate Peppermint Bark
Storage Instructions
This vegan peppermint bark stores for up to 2 weeks in the fridge if placed in airtight containers or zip-lock bags. With time, the candy on top of the bark becomes a bit sticky as they get in contact with air moisture. You can also freeze chocolate bark for later. Wrap the bark into an airtight container or zip-lock bags and thaw at room temperature a few hours before eating.
