Smooth dark chocolate, a peppermint coconut butter layer, and crushed candy canes are the perfect combination for a healthy Christmas candy. These are Gluten-Free, Holiday, Paleo, Plant-Based, Vegan, Vegetarian
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 a silicone mat or 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 the 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.
