Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams dark chocolate chips
- 300 grams white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 drops green food coloring
- 50 grams crushed peppermint candies or candy canes
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each cycle until smooth and fully melted.
Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly into a thin layer using an offset spatula. Place the tray in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set slightly.
Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth. Once melted, stir in the peppermint extract and green food coloring until the color is evenly distributed.
Pour the mint-infused white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer and gently spread it out using an offset spatula to cover the dark chocolate completely.
Sprinkle the top with the crushed peppermint candies or candy canes, pressing them lightly into the white chocolate to ensure they stick.
Allow the bark to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Once fully set, break the bark into irregular pieces using your hands or a kitchen knife.
Store the mint chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 10 days, or in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life.
