A simple and festive holiday treat made with layers of dark and white chocolate, infused with peppermint, and topped with crushed candy canes.

  • Total Time: 20 mins
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

- 12 oz dark chocolate (semi-sweet or bittersweet)
- 12 oz white chocolate
- ½ tsp peppermint extract
- ½ cup crushed candy canes or peppermint candies

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each.
2. Spread and Cool: Pour the melted dark chocolate onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading evenly. Let it cool slightly.
3. Melt White Chocolate: Using the same method, melt the white chocolate and mix in peppermint extract.
4. Layer & Sprinkle: Pour the white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer and spread evenly. Immediately sprinkle crushed candy canes on top.
5. Set and Break: Let the bark set at room temperature for 1-2 hours or 30 minutes in the fridge. Once firm, break into pieces and enjoy!

Notes

- Use high-quality chocolate for the best results.
- Avoid overheating white chocolate to prevent burning.
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate and ensure candy canes are gelatin-free.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
