Ingredients

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup coconut oil softened
• 1/2 cup coconut butter softened
• 1 Tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2-3 candy canes or crushed peppermint candies

Instructions

• 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.
• Pour melted chocolate into an 8x8 inch pan lined with parchment paper.
• Place pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to let chocolate solidify.
• Slightly melt the coconut oil and coconut butter until it's a thick icing consistency. Add remaining ingredients and whisk together.
• Take pan out of the freezer and spread coconut mixture over the chocolate using a rubber spatula.
• Top with crushed candy canes or peppermint candies. Place in the freezer to set completely (about 1-2 hours)
• Once set, remove from the freezer and break into pieces.
• Store in freezer.

Notes

• If you do not have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a small pot into a slightly larger pot that is filled with a small amount of water.
• Use refined coconut oil if you don't want a strong coconut flavor.
• If you are concerned about artificial colors and flavors in candy canes, I suggest buying a brand that fits those needs! During the holidays you should be able to find them in health food stores.
