Vegan White Chocolate Peppermint Bark
When it comes to Christmas, it’s all about the chocolate! You can make a variety of effortless chocolate based desserts that involve minimal steps and ingredients, that will make you look like an iron chef! One of my favorite chocolate concepts is barks. A bark is simply a blend of chocolate and toppings all broken up into pieces and can look like a work of art.Â
The options are endless with chocolate flavors and toppings so it’s great for any season!
While I’m big on mint or peppermint, I do love some peppermint concepts around Christmas time.It’s indulgent, but also a bonus pallet cleanser and a breath freshener.
Since the I love a good chocolate bark I knew I had to do a peppermint chocolate bark. I love a good dark chocolate, but I gravitate more towards white chocolate for some reason. Before you stress about sourcing white chocolate, it’s actually quite easy to find today, because you can order it via Amazon. (not sponsored)
