How to make your own dairy free and vegan peppermint bark recipe at home for a quick and easy holiday treat, with just 3 ingredients!
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!

I love coconut butter and peppermint bark, this looks like the perfect meet up between the two. I can only imagine how heavenly the melty coconut butter would taste against the mint. Divine!
I was OBSESSED with candy land when I was little! I pretty much begged my parents to play it with me everyday! Such a great childhood memory!
Oh my goodness Katie! I’ve been looking for this everywhere! You have no idea how happy I am right now. 🙂 How did you know I wanted this? I can’t wait to try it!
I make something similar with raw cocoa butter. I’ll have to try your version with coconut butter.
Of course I remember Candyland. I still play it with my kids 🙂
oh yum!! got to love coconut butter, so easy to use to make amazing things
Do I remember Candyland? Oh yes and play it at least 5x a week the past year or so. The best part of having a child, or one of them, is re-living all the old games and puzzles. Memory, Candyland, Sesame Street episodes…some of it is still the exact same!
Great job on the bark….looks delish! I’ve been on a white choc dessert making obsession the past month or so! Lots of barks, brittles, puppy chows, etc. Love white choc!
I swear I am *addicted* to peppermint bark this time of year. Williams Sonoma can’t keep it in stock when I’m even remotely nearby. This recipe looks awesome!
Freaking fantastic idea, this one’s a must-try!
Katie I absolutely LOVE this idea.. dare I hope that there’s a chocolate version in the works??
Oh silly me – you already thought of that! YUM!
I love candy land (the old game…. the new versions are so dumbed down!) I still play it with my little brother. When I was little, I always wanted to get Queen Frosting. Haha, and it was terrible if you almost finnished, but wound up picking Plumpy’s card! 🙂 I also loved to play Chutes and Ladders.
The bark looks so professional! Yum! Better than what Costco displays for sale!
