Ingredients
- 8 ounces dark chocolate (chopped into small pieces (I like to use a premium baking bar, and usually choose 60%))
- 8 ounces premium white chocolate (chopped into small pieces)
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract (not “mint” extract)
- ⅓ cup crushed candy canes (divided)
Steps
-
Line an 8×8 baking pan with wax paper. Set aside.
-
Place chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir well. Return to microwave and heat on 15-second increments (stirring well between each) until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract.
-
Spread melted dark chocolate evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan. Set aside (do not refrigerate) and prepare your white chocolate layer.
-
Place your chopped white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir well. Return to microwave and heat on 15-second increments (stirring well between each) until white chocolate is completely melted.
-
Stir in remaining peppermint extract. Add ¼ cup of crushed candy canes to the white chocolate and gently fold in until evenly distributed.
-
Spread white chocolate evenly (and gently, in case chocolate has not completely set) over dark chocolate layer.
-
Immediately sprinkle white chocolate layer with remaining candy cane pieces.
-
Allow peppermint bark to harden completely at room temperature before cutting/breaking into pieces and enjoying.
