Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need: chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars, nut butter or coconut butter, and pure peppermint extract.<\/p>\n
The recipe can be dairy free, vegan, gluten free, paleo, sugar free, and keto friendly, with no corn syrup, no sweetened condensed milk, and no heavy cream required.<\/p>\n
Just like with my Vegan Peppermint Cookies, make sure to use pure peppermint extract, not mint extract or imitation peppermint.<\/p>\n
I like almond butter, cashew butter, or macadamia nut butter because these have a more neutral flavor than peanut butter. For tree nut free chocolate peppermint fudge bars, use softened coconut butter or coconut oil.<\/p>\n
For a vegan holiday dessert, look for dairy free chocolate chips or bars. You can use semi sweet or dark chocolate, depending on your personal preference. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling artistic, have fun garnishing the bars with crushed candy canes or peppermints, Hanukkah or Christmas sprinkles, or red and white sprinkles.<\/p>\n
For a healthier option, add pomegranate seeds, shredded coconut, cacao nibs, hemp seeds, chia seeds, or finely chopped walnuts on top of the peppermint chocolate bars. <\/p>\n
Of course, it\u2019s also perfectly fine to leave the bars plain, without any toppings.<\/p>\n
Line the bottom of an eight inch pan with wax paper or parchment paper.<\/p>\n
If using natural nut butter or rock hard coconut butter, gently warm up the nut butter until it is easy to stir. <\/p>\n
Melt the chocolate, either using the double broiler method or by carefully heating it in the microwave. To melt chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a microwave, heat them for twenty seconds in a microwave safe bowl. Stir, then heat in ten second intervals, stirring after each to ensure the chocolate does not burn.<\/p>\n
Combine the melted chocolate and softened nut butter. Add the pure peppermint extract, and stir everything together until smooth.<\/p>\n
Spread the chocolate evenly into the prepared pan. Freeze for ten minutes, or refrigerate a few hours until it\u2019s firm enough to slice into squares or bars.<\/p>\n
The recipe was adapted from my Keto Candy Bars and these Chocolate Truffles.<\/p>\n
The chocolate mixture will firm up to a sliceable texture once chilled. <\/p>\n
If the pan is left in the refrigerator or freezer too long and the chocolate becomes too hard to cut, just leave it out on the counter to soften for a few minutes or until you are easily able to run a knife through the chocolate.<\/p>\n
With the exception of the coconut oil version, these chocolate peppermint bars can be left out on the counter in a cool dry place and will hold their shape.<\/p>\n
Coconut oil fudge will slowly begin to melt at room temperature, so store the bars in the fridge or freezer if using coconut oil.<\/p>\n
You can definitely package these bars up and bring them to a party. To ensure they do not melt en route to their destination, I like to freeze the bars until I\u2019m ready to leave. <\/p>\n
