Ingredients
Scale
For the Bark:
- 12 oz dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa), chopped
- 12 oz white chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies or candy canes
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Sheet
- Line a baking sheet (about 11×17 inches) with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Step 2: Melt the Dark Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler.
- Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer using a spatula.
Step 3: Chill the Dark Chocolate
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the dark chocolate is set.
Step 4: Melt the White Chocolate
- In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in the same manner as the dark chocolate, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in the peppermint extract into the melted white chocolate.
Step 5: Pour the White Chocolate
- Remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator. Pour the melted white chocolate over the set dark chocolate and spread it into an even layer.
Step 6: Add Crushed Peppermint
- Immediately sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies evenly over the white chocolate layer, pressing them down gently to adhere.
Step 7: Chill and Break
- Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for another 10-15 minutes, or until the white chocolate is fully set.
- Once set, lift the bark out of the baking sheet using the parchment paper overhang. Break it into pieces of your desired size.
