Keto Dark Chocolate Peppermint Bark Recipe –
I made this Keto Dark Chocolate Peppermint Bark Recipe for a class I taught about essential oils for my friends. It was a big hit and everyone was asking for the recipe. Lots of my readers are always telling me they have sensitivities to nuts so this recipe could be a welcome addition to your collection. This recipe uses sunflower and pumpkin seeds for a nut free variation.
I added peppermint oil to this bark to make it have a cool and refreshing taste that is unforgettable. I only recommend using these oils.
My Double Chocolate Baked Donut Recipe and Low Carb Keto Peppermint Hot Chocolate Mix Recipe also tastes great with peppermint oil.
Keto Dark Chocolate Peppermint Bark Recipe
Ingredients
- 1.5 teaspoons stevia extract powder for low carb version
- 12 oz 100% dark chocolate
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 8-10 drops Peppermint vitality oil
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
-
Place a few cups of water in a sauce pan over medium heat.
-
Place the chocolate and honey (if using stevia add it when adding the seeds) in a glass bowl then place it over the sauce pan.
-
Let the chocolate mixture melt slowly and stir periodically.
-
While the chocolate is melting spread out the seeds on the sheet pan evenly and toast them for about 10 minutes or until they taste toasted.
-
Remove the seeds from the oven and set aside.
-
Move the bowl of chocolate away from the heat and stir in the peppermint oils and the seeds (and stevia) until well mixed.
-
Spread the mixture back on the same parchment until it is about 1/2 inch thick.
-
Place the pan in the refrigerator to set.
-
When the bark has hardened, remove it from the fridge and break it into small pieces.
-
Store the bark in a glass container in a cool place until ready to serve.

The dark chocolate bark recipes looks fab. I wasn’t able to copy and past the recipe so I’m assuming this restriction was done on purpose?
I recently purchase your book and am working my way through it. Amazing recipes and so creative.

Thanks Susan for reading! Yes there is a lot of unethical people who copy recipes for profit so I used a copy protector. Try taking a screen shot with your computer or phone and send it to yourself.
