Description
A simple and festive holiday candy made with chocolate and peppermint.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound good quality dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 pound good quality white chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Spread the melted dark chocolate evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle half of the crushed candy canes over the dark chocolate.
- Allow the dark chocolate to set slightly, about 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Melt the white chocolate in a separate double boiler or microwave. Stir in the peppermint extract.
- Pour the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer and spread evenly.
- Immediately sprinkle the remaining crushed candy canes over the white chocolate.
- Refrigerate until firm, about 1-2 hours.
- Once firm, break the bark into pieces.
Notes
- Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Ensure the dark chocolate is slightly set before adding the white chocolate to prevent them from mixing too much.
- Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
