# Steps:

Cover a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set aside.

Break apart the chocolate almond bark and add it to a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and heat in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth. Add 1-2 drops of peppermint oil and stir to combine. Spread the melted chocolate mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and set it aside to cool until set.

Once the chocolate layer has set and does not move when you gently shake the pan, spread the melted vanilla almond bark on top of the chocolate. Sprinkle the mint chocolate candies and peppermint baking chips evenly over the top, pressing down slightly to ensure they adhere.

Leave the peppermint bark at room temperature until completely set, which may take 1-2 hours depending on the room temperature.

Remove the set peppermint bark from the baking sheet and break it into pieces for serving.
