Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Ensure the paper extends over the edges for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave on medium power in 30-second intervals until completely melted, stirring between each interval.
Once melted, add the cocoa powder, erythritol, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the crushed peppermint candies, unsweetened coconut flakes, and chopped almonds into the chocolate mixture, ensuring even distribution.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth the top into an even layer.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours or until the mixture is firm and set.
Once set, lift the bar out of the dish using the parchment paper edges and place it onto a cutting board.
Cut into 12 bars using a sharp knife.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
