Chocolate Peppermint Truffle Bars are the perfect no bake gluten free easy to make holiday treat and a great way to celebrate the holidays. Filled with superfood ingredients, gluten-free, and vegan.
I am in full swing of holiday baking. I like to give gifts of holiday treats.
I make batches of cookies, bars and all kinds of confection sweets. I go to the container store and buy cute little bakery boxes, pretty string, and artistic tags.
I fill boxes full of my assorted treats and drop the boxes off in my friend’s mailboxes. It is what I enjoy doing and I want to share it with those I love. That is what the holidays are about, sharing and appreciating those we love.
Coming up with fun new confections can be a success or a failure. Making up a batch of these Chocolate Peppermint Truffle Bars was super simple and quick except for the time waiting for it to firm up in the freezer. I am a huge peppermint and chocolate fan. I think the combo is the perfect holiday partnership.
Since I am a huge peppermint and chocolate combo fan, and I think they make the perfect holiday partnership.
These truffle bars must be kept cool, and look pretty served in a paper baking cup. Store them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and they can be covered and frozen for up to two months.

I love that these are vegan, it gives vegans an opportunity to make such a delicious sweet treat and not have to worry! Love these so much!
Is there a substitute for the superfood shortening? Thanks!
Adrienne you can use 1/2 butter 1/2 coconut oil as a substitute.
