Ingredients
- 8 ounces dark chocolate
- 8 ounces white chocolate
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
- ¼ cup crushed candy canes or peppermint candies
Equipment
Instructions
- Line a 9x13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Chop your dark chocolate and place it into a microwave-safe bowl.
- Chop your white chocolate and place it into a separate microwave-safe bowl.
- First, melt your dark chocolate; melt the chocolate on HIGH setting in 30-second intervals. Stir the chocolate every 30 seconds. It took me four cycles to have it completely melted.
- Remove the dark chocolate from the microwave and place in the white chocolate. Melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval.
- Spread the dark chocolate over the baking sheet with an offset spatula.
- Once your white chocolate is melted, stir in peppermint extract.
- Drizzle the white across the dark chocolate, creating lines. You can do this from the shorter or longer side.
- Take a bamboo skewer and drag it through the surface of the white chocolate to make swirls.
- Finally, add crushed candy or peppermint candies. Cool the peppermint bark in a fridge for 20 minutes.
- Break into pieces before serving.
Notes
I used classic chocolate, but if you want to skip the chopping part, you can use chocolate chips. Always choose quality chocolate if you want good results.
