Ingredients

BROWNIE LAYER:

  • ½ cup pecans or walnuts
  • ½ cup oats or another 1/2 cup of nuts
  • 10 soft dates
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 Tablespoon water

BARK:

  • 6 Tablespoons coconut butter
  • 4 Tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 candy cane crushed into small pieces

Instructions

BROWNIE LAYER:

  • Process the nuts into a meal.
  • Remove.
  • Add dates and process until they form a paste.
  • Add back the nut meal and the rest of the ingredients.
  • Process until well-combined.
  • Press into a small baking dish (I used a 7 x 5 inch Pyrex dish).
  • Set in the fridge while you make the top layer.

BARK LAYER:

  • Heat the coconut butter and oil on low just until they liquify.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients (except for the candy cane) until the mixture is smooth.
  • Pour atop the brownie layer.
  • Set in the fridge for about 10 minutes until the top layer sets a bit.
  • Top with the crushed candy cane (you can top it before, but this keeps the candy cane on top and makes it look prettier).
  • Set in the fridge (or freezer if you want it faster) to set.
  • Cut and enjoy!
