Holiday Peppermint Bark Recipe
The holidays wouldn’t be complete without snacking on some peppermint bark! This healthier rendition is indulgent and refreshing, while only having a fraction of the sugar found in the traditional staple.

Navitas Organics Cacao Powder 4 Tbsp. maple syrup ¼ tsp. vanilla extract ½ cup Navitas Organics Cacao Butter 4 Tbsp. maple syrup ¼ tsp. vanilla extract ½ tsp. peppermint extract 1 tsp. arrowroot starch 2-3 Tbsp. crushed candy cane (about 1 candy cane) Refined sugar-free version: unsweetened shredded coconut |
DIRECTIONSDark Chocolate Base Layer: Line an 8x8-inch dish with parchment and set aside. Place a double boiler on medium heat. Let water come to a boil and place cacao butter in the bowl to melt. Once the cacao butter has liquefied, add the cacao powder, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Whisk ingredients together, remove from heat and pour into the lined dish. Tilt the dish to spread the chocolate into an even layer. Place in the freezer for at least one hour to harden. Once the white chocolate mixture has slightly cooled, evenly pour the mixture over the solidified dark chocolate layer, tilting the dish as needed to spread evenly.
