Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Ensure the paper extends over the edges for easy removal.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave on medium power in 30-second intervals until completely melted, stirring between each interval.

Fold in the crushed peppermint candies, unsweetened coconut flakes, and chopped almonds into the chocolate mixture, ensuring even distribution.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth the top into an even layer.

Step 6

Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours or until the mixture is firm and set.

Step 7

Once set, lift the bar out of the dish using the parchment paper edges and place it onto a cutting board.

Step 8

Cut into 12 bars using a sharp knife.

Step 9

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
