Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the vegan dark chocolate and coconut oil. Melt using a double boiler method or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Once melted, stir in the maple syrup and peppermint extract until fully incorporated.
Add the crushed cornflakes, chopped almonds, cocoa nibs, and sea salt to the chocolate mixture. Stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Once set, remove from the refrigerator and cut into bars using a sharp knife.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
