Ingredients
  

  • 18 oz dark chocolate chips: The base of the bark offering richness and depth of flavor. Semi-sweet or milk chocolate can be used based on personal preference. High-quality chocolate will enhance the overall taste.
  • 18 oz white chocolate chips: This adds a creamy texture and sweetness that balances the dark chocolate. Look for high-quality white chocolate for the best results; avoid those with vegetable oils.
  • ½ cup crushed candy canes or peppermint candies: These provide the signature minty flavor and a crunchy texture. If you prefer you can use finely crushed peppermint candies for a stronger mint presence.

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet: Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the bark from sticking and make for easier cleanup later.
  2. Melt the dark chocolate: Place the 18 oz dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in the microwave for 45 seconds; remove and stir. Continue heating in 10-second intervals until smooth and melted, being careful not to overheat.
  3. Melt the white chocolate: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the 18 oz white chocolate chips using the same method as the dark chocolate. Once melted, stir in ¼ cup crushed peppermint candies to infuse the white chocolate with mint flavor.
  4. Layer the chocolates: Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it to about ¼ inch thick. Carefully spoon the white chocolate mixture on top, using a spatula to spread it evenly across the dark layer. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup crushed peppermint candies over the top for added crunch and color.
  5. Chill the bark: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set. Once set, you can remove the bark from the parchment and break it into pieces.
  6. And there you have it—a simple and delicious peppermint bark ready to delight your taste buds! Enjoy the process and feel free to share it with friends and family this holiday season!
