Step-by-step
- Place the cookie layer ingredients into a food processor. Blend and/or pulse until combined well. Taste the cookie layer for sweetness, add more if needed. Set aside.
- Prepare the peppermint layer in a stand mixer. Place all ingredients in the mixer and blend on high until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- If you are using a candy mold, fill them halfway with the peppermint batter, then press in the cookie batter level with the top of each mold. Freeze for 1 hour.
- If you are using an 8 by 8 pan, place parchment paper in the pan and have enough hanging over the edges to easily remove later. Press the cookie batter onto the parchment as evenly as possible. Spread the peppermint batter over the cookie batter. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together for 1-minute intervals in a microwavable bowl until smooth.
- If using a mold, remove pieces from the mold and coat each in chocolate. Remove excess chocolate using a fork and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle on crushed candy canes.
- If using an 8 by 8 pan, remove by lifting the sides of the parchment paper. Cut into bite-sized pieces. Freeze pieces for 30 minutes before coating with chocolate and sprinkling with crushed candy canes.
