Ingredients:
For the brownie layer:
- 1⁄2 cup vegan butter
- 1⁄4 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, flax or chia “eggs” work as well
- 2 tsp peppermint extract
- 1 tsp salt

- 2 tbsp almond milk
For the bark:
- 4oz dark chocolate melted
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- Chopped peppermint candies, to decorate
- 1 cup finely chopped LesserEvil Chocolate Candy Cane Popcorn
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350. In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients for the brownie layer and whisk until smooth. Pour into an 8×8 dish and bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool.
While it bakes, prepare the peppermint frosting. Combine the vegan butter, powdered sugar, peppermint and almond milk in a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer until smooth. Set aside.
When the brownies have baked and cooled, pipe the peppermint frosting on top and smooth in one even layer. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Melt the chocolate, whisk in the coconut oil, and get your topping ready. Pull the brownies from the freezer and pour over the melted chocolate, then garnish with peppermint candies and popcorn. Slice into 9 large brownies to serve.
