Paleo Peppermint Bark
This paleo peppermint bark recipe uses dried cranberries (in place of crushed candy canes) for a fun, festive, delicious and guilt free treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips, Enjoy Life brand is Paleo
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1 cup Coconut Butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
- ½ tsp Pure Peppermint Extract
- ¼ cup Dried Cranberries, chopped
Instructions
- Line an 8x 8 or 9x9 pan with parchment paper, ensuring that about 2 inch of parchment is hanging from the edges.
- In a microwavable cup or bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil and microwave for 45 to 60 seconds, stirring in between, till it is melted.
- Mix in ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract.
- Pour it in the prepared pan and let it chill in the fridge for 15 minutes, or till it is hardened.
- Meanwhile, place the jar of coconut butter in pot of simmering water to melt it, about 5 minutes.
- Once melted, measure a cup of it and add the maple syrup and ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract. Mix well.

- Evenly sprinkle the chopped cranberries and let if chill again for another 15 to 30 minutes.

Notes
Coconut butter becomes thick once cooled. After mixing the maple syrup and the peppermint extract, if it becomes too thick to pour, add a tablespoon of coconut oil and heat in the microwave for 15 seconds or till it melts and is of a pouring consistency.
Doesn’t it look delicious?
