I almost always have these homemade chocolate bars in my freezer. They are so easy to make and only have 4 simple ingredients. It’s great to have around if I want a little square of dark chocolate, but don’t want a store-bought one loaded with processed sugar and preservatives! This chocolate bar can also make a great gift. You can wrap it in wax paper and give it away to friends, just try to keep it cool because if it’s too hot it can melt!
Peppermint Chocolate Bark Recipe:
Peppermint Chocolate Bark (Only 4 Ingredients!)
Author: Hannah Healy @ Healy Eats Real
Serves: Serves 5-6
Ingredients
- 4 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate (I like this one)
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup honey (sub coconut nectar for vegan)
- 7 drops Young Living peppermint essential oil (I ONLY use Young Living internally) OR ½ tsp peppermint extract (optional- you can omit peppermint flavoring if you want plain chocolate)
Optional toppings:
- Nuts, coarse sea salt, shredded coconut, dried fruit, etc. I used walnuts and shredded coconut
Instructions
- Place the unsweetened chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler on medium-high heat. While the chocolate and coconut oil is melting, get an 8x8 pyrex dish and line with parchment paper or grease with extra coconut oil. Let heat until all of the chocolate and coconut oil is melted and mix gently with a spoon. Turn off the heat, then add the honey and mix thoroughly to combine. Then, add the peppermint essential oil (I ONLY use Young Living internally) and mix.
- Pour the mixture into the pyrex dish and freeze for about 10 minutes. Then pull the chocolate out of the freezer to add toppings. The chocolate should be slightly harder, but still melted enough to hold the toppings.
- Sprinkle whichever toppings you want. One of my favorite combos is walnuts, shredded coconut and coarse sea salt. Then put the chocolate back in the freezer and allow to freeze for about 1-2 hours until it is hard. After it has hardened you can break it apart into smaller pieces and serve!

This looks yummy and easy! When do you add the peppermint essential oil?
Whoops! Forgot to put that in the directions. I just edited it, it’s right after you add the honey. 🙂
Is there option here to print off the recipe on a one page print? I would love to make this for Christmas
I just edited it, so it has the print button now. Enjoy!
Hi there. I’m excited to make this. If I’m using peppermint extract, (not healthy living oil) would the number of drops be the same?
Thank you.
You’ll need to use more if it’s peppermint extract. I haven’t made it with extract yet, so I’m not totally sure, but 1/4 teaspoon would probably work.
