Ingredients

3 candy canes, crushed
1 (9-ounce) bag of vegan semisweet chocolate chips
1 (9-ounce) bag of vegan white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons of coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

Line a 8x8 baking tray with parchment paper and set aside. Crush the candy canes and set aside.
In a medium microwave safe bowl, add the semisweet vegan chocolate chips and one tablespoon of coconut oil if using. Microwave for 30 seconds, remove the bowl from the microwave and mix well. Repeat the process in increments of 30 seconds until the vegan chocolate is almost fully melted. Be careful not to overcook the vegan chocolate. It will burn and become dry and unusable.
Pour the melted vegan chocolate in the prepared baking tray and level the vegan chocolate. Put it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Do not leave it longer or it will fully solidify. It needs to be slightly melted in order for the vegan white chocolate to bind together with the vegan dark chocolate.
In the medium microwave safe bowl, add the vegan white chocolate. Microwave for 30 seconds, remove the bowl from the microwave and mix well. Repeat the process in increments of 30 seconds until the vegan chocolate is almost fully melted. Be careful not to overcook the vegan chocolate. It will burn and become dry and unusable.
Slowly pour the vegan white chocolate over the vegan dark chocolate and move the tray around to level it. Sprinkle the crushed candy cane and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Remove from the fridge and break it apart into the desired size chunks.

Notes

Use good quality vegan chocolate: The quality of your peppermint chocolate bark depends on the quality of plant-based chocolate used, so make sure to use a good one made with cocoa butter.

Leave parchment paper overhang: Or at least enough parchment paper on the edges to make it easy to pull the bark out of the baking tray for easy removal.

When to add the second layer: It’s important to add the vegan white chocolate before the semisweet one has completely set, so they adhere.

For a swirl bar: Pour in the first layer, then immediately melt the vegan white chocolate and pour it over the top, using a skewer to create a swirl.
