- 12 ounces (340g) semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 12 ounces (340g) white chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 5 crushed candy canes (about 1/2 cup)
Instructions
- Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Refrigerate for 20 minutes until mostly set.
- Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Stir in the peppermint extract.
- Remove the pan from the refrigerator and pour the white chocolate over the semi-sweet layer. Quickly spread evenly.
- Immediately sprinkle crushed candy canes over the top, pressing down gently so they stick.
- Refrigerate the bark for about 1 hour or until completely set.
- Once set, remove from the pan and break into pieces.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for best results; baking bars melt better than chocolate chips.
- Store bark in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
