Peppermint bark is one of those hugely popular holiday recipes each year.
Maybe because it’s so ridiculously simple to make. Just stir the ingredients together, chill for a few minutes until it hardens, and that’s literally all you have to do!
When it’s difficult to keep from eating the whole thing before I can even take a photo, I know a recipe is a success. Staying away from this bark was hard!

Would it work with coconut oil? I don’t have a way to make or obtain coconut butter
Taste won’t be as buttery or rich. But you can always experiment.
My husband and I became no oil, low-fat vegans (Forks Over Knives), in August to become healthy. We are seeing great results. However, my husband is diabetic. Do you have a recipe to replace those starlight mint hard candies. They are always in his office and is such a temptation. I would like to make a healthy alternative that he can take with him and leave those for others to eat.
Thanks for your help!
