You know Christmas is coming when you see peppermint recipes popping up ALL over the place!! Well here’s another delicious minty treat to add to the collection… introducing my no-bake Peppermint Chocolate Christmas Slice!!

In fact, this slice is perfect if you:
- have absolute zero time to bake but need to make something to take to a Christmas party;
- have a kid that’s told you the night before their class party that they need to take a plate of food;
- tried making a fancy-schmancy dessert and it ended in tears… this is your rescue recipe;
- you’ve got a Christmas party in the afternoon and your toddler has decided to take up residence on your hip.
SEEEEE this recipe is much, much more than just a good old Peppermint Chocolate Christmas Slice. It’s a darn lifesaver!!!
Anyway, I know you have no time to waste… so go on! Grab the ingredients and whip this baby up. I promise it’s going to become your new Christmassy best friend.
