- ¼ cup nondairy creamer
- 1/2 tbsp peppermint extract (NOT peppermint oil*)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Crushed candy canes for topping
Instructions
- Melt cacao butter in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently.
- Once melted, whisk in cashew butter. Remove from heat, then whisk in cacao powder and agave until smooth. Add creamer, peppermint extract and salt and whisk until completely smooth.
- Pour into a parchment paper-lined 9 x 9 pan. Top with a thin layer of crushed candy canes.

*Peppermint oil is significantly more concentrated than peppermint extract. If it's the only thing you can find, just use a few drops.
