Vegan Peppermint Slice Recipe

Vegan Peppermint Slice Recipe! Yep you heard me. It’s delicious and a healthier alternative for when you are wanting to try something a little more nourishing and not full of empty calories. I don’t know about you but I absolutely love chocolate and peppermint together. 

This Vegan Peppermint Slice Recipe is fantastic to whip up (well it does take some time) … for your next special occasion. If you have an issue with nut allergies you could sub it out for something more suitable. Like shredded coconut instead of macadamias and you could use sunflower seeds and pepita seeds for the base.

Either way… make this Vegan Peppermint Slice Recipe your own!

Get experimental and make it fun! Cooking and baking should be fun and if you have allergies and sensitivities to certain foods don’t let that hinder your kitchen time.

There are plenty of alternatives our there to get amongst.
