Description
This Peppermint Bark Recipe is a festive and delicious treat that combines smooth semisweet chocolate, creamy white chocolate infused with peppermint extract, and crunchy crushed candy canes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips or chopped semisweet chocolate
- 16 ounces white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 3/4 cup crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Place the semisweet chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth.
- Spread the melted semisweet chocolate into a roughly 9″x 13″ rectangle on a piece of parchment paper. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to partially set, ensuring the edges are firm but the center remains slightly soft.
- In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth. Stir in the peppermint extract thoroughly.
- Spread the white chocolate mixture evenly over the semisweet layer. Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top. Return to the fridge and chill for about 20 minutes or until completely set.
- Remove the bark from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes for easier cutting. Using a straight-edged chef’s knife, cut the bark into pieces by slicing straight down through the layers. Serve and enjoy.
