Description
My candy cane crust bars are the ultimate holiday indulgence. I start with a rich, buttery shortbread cookie base that melts in your mouth with every bite. On top of that, I pour a thick layer of silky dark chocolate that strikes the perfect balance between sweet and decadent. To finish, I sprinkle a generous handful of crushed peppermint candy canes, giving each bar that festive crunch and minty kick. They’re sweet, nostalgic, and practically scream winter cheer – perfect for cozy nights in or adding some sparkle to your dessert table.

Ordered these in my first order from Riann. The shortbread base is just right. not too sweet, compliments the chocolate perfectly. It’s got that normal shortbread texture and proper moisture you’d expect.
Chocolate layer is rich with an intense, healthy portion per square, has a great consistency to it. Still tastes like pure chocolate but has a softer biteable texture where you’re not chewing on hardened chocolate. Gives the whole bar a fudgy feel, not brownie-like but denser. Peppermint crushings are the perfect accent and do not overpower the other two layers.
You’d never know these are allergy free, just regular dessert table stuff here.
Portion size for the price is fair, each bar feels like almost a portion and a half for how rich these are, a LOT of chocolate in one bar. Like half of one and a cup of cocoa would be a perfect “treat yourself” portion.
These were unique and delicious, very happy with them.
