The BEST No-Bake Peppermint Chocolate Christmas Slice made with peppermint chocolate and decorated with candy canes and M&Ms!
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!!
Let me start off by saying that this is in no way a fancy-pants slice. It’s a ‘whip up in 10 minutes flat while holding a toddler on your hip’ kind of recipe (true story!!).
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.

Thank you so much!
Easy method with simple ingredients! Had so much fun making this slice! I put my own spin on it and crushed some candy canes into a powder using the blender, sprinkled it on top of the melted chocolate with larger pieces of candy cane and the MNM’s! It turned out amazing!
That sounds absolutely delicious!
