If you are looking for an easy vegan peppermint bark recipe, this is the one for you!

The flavor of dark and white chocolate blended together with peppermint and topped with candy canes will taste like an explosion of Christmas in your mouth!

If you want something quicker, you can always check out my 3-Ingredient Peppermint Fudge, but you can’t go wrong with either recipe!

One thing that I love about making this vegan peppermint bark recipe is that it makes the perfect gift for the holidays.

Make a huge batch, or two or three, and then wrap the peppermint bark in cellophane and tie it with a bow and add a candy cane and give it as gifts to those you want to appreciate during the Christmas season!

If you are new to making peppermint bark, just know that it is basically fail-safe! You just spread out the dark chocolate, let it harden, spread on the white chocolate and sprinkle on the peppermint and let it harden and you are done.

It is the perfect recipe for Christmas and kids love helping make it, especially when it comes time to crack the peppermint bark!

I hope you enjoy making this vegan peppermint bark as part of your holiday celebration as much as I do!

Where To Buy Vegan White Chocolate Chips

When you read the title of this, you may be confused how these can be vegan peppermint bark with white chocolate as white chocolate chips that are vegan seem impossible to find.

This isn’t true anymore and they are actually quite easy to source!

Did you know that you can easily find plenty of Vegan White Chocolate Chips On Amazon!

But did you know that WALMART and your regular grocery store has vegan white chocolate chips too?!

Nestle makes a brand called “Simply Delicious” and they are a vegan line of White Chocolate Chips!

These are your two best bets! To try and order some vegan white chocolate chips from Amazon or Walmart!

Sometimes Whole Foods or your local grocery store will also carry vegan white chocolate chips as well so you just have to ask or look at the ingredients!

If you are doing a lot of baking this holiday season, you may want to order quite a few bags of the vegan white chocolate chips so that you have them on hand!

How To Make Vegan Peppermint Bark

As I said above, making vegan peppermint bark is sinfully easy! It is perfect if you are looking for a fast and affordable homemade gift for the holidays.

First, you are going to want to melt your dark chocolate in a small saucepan on the stove. Once melted, you will stir in the peppermint extract.

Make sure to use actual peppermint extract that is meant for baking, not essential oils or something just meant to be used for aromatherapy, yes there is a difference!

Then, you are going to line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread your chocolate layer all over the sheet in a thin layer.

Then, pop it in the fridge to harden.

Once the chocolate layer is hard, melt the white chocolate chips over the stove or on the microwave until melted.

You can add more peppermint extract into the white chocolate layer if you want, but I prefer it on just the chocolate one so the flavors aren’t too overwhelming!

Spread the melted white chocolate chips over the hard dark chocolate.

Now, you are going to put your candy canes in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.

Of course, you can crush your candy however you want and in whatever way is easiest for you! As long as it is crushed, that is all that matters.

While the white chocolate is still liquid, sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the top of the entire baking sheet.

Pop the vegan peppermint bark back in the fridge to harden and then you are done!

Once hard, you can use your hands to break the vegan peppermint bark into pieces or hit the tray against the counter to get it to break into large pieces!

You don’t want uniform squares, the more jagged the better, as that is what peppermint bark is all about!

How To Store Peppermint Bark

You can store vegan peppermint bark at room temperature for 5-7 days, but I prefer to store it in the fridge.

It can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 weeks so you can make the recipe ahead of the holidays and then you can give it out to friends!

I do not recommend freezing this vegan peppermint bark recipe as the candy canes will become sticky and will melt when they unfreeze making the texture really weird and not all the best!
