The Coffee Condiments

Peppermint bark with cacao butter and cacao powder

A nutrient-rich peppermint bark you can enjoy with your evening coffee.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup cacao powder
  • 50 g cacao butter (approx. 24 wafers)
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 5 candy canes (@yumearth brand)

Directions

  1. 1

    Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to your pan. Whisk together. This makes it so that your powdered sugar does not remain in chunks when the rest of the ingredients are added.

  2. 2

    Add the cacao butter and melt on low heat.

  3. 3

    Once melted, add the cacao powder and sea salt - mix until combined, then add the maple syrup and mix again.

  4. 4

    Crush your candy canes in a plastic bag to the desired “crumb” size.

  5. 5

    Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper, and pour your chocolate mixture on the paper. Spread with a spatula until it is about 1/4” thick. Sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top of the chocolate.

  6. 6

    Refrigerate for at least a couple hours before breaking apart - enjoy!
