Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- ½ cup crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring in between until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler. Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate sets.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in the same way, adding the peppermint extract. Stir well.
- Pour the melted white chocolate over the chilled semi-sweet layer. Quickly spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the crushed candy canes evenly over the white chocolate. Press them down gently.
- Return the bark to the fridge for another 15-20 minutes, or until fully set.
- Once firm, break the peppermint bark into pieces. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure your utensils are completely dry when working with chocolate to prevent any seizing.
- Get creative with toppings like nuts or holiday-themed sprinkles.
- Store your Peppermint Bark in an airtight container in the fridge to keep it fresh for up to two weeks.
