Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Dark chocolate
- 300 grams White chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 6 pieces Candy canes, crushed
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer about 1/4 inch thick. Allow it to cool and set completely in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
While the dark chocolate is setting, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using the same method as before, stirring until completely smooth.
Stir the peppermint extract into the melted white chocolate until well combined.
Pour the melted white chocolate on top of the set dark chocolate layer. Use a spatula to spread it evenly over the surface.
Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the white chocolate layer, ensuring even coverage. Gently press the candy cane pieces into the chocolate with your hands to help them adhere.
Let the bark cool and firm up completely in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until fully set.
Once the bark is hardened, remove it from the baking sheet and break it into irregular pieces using your hands or a knife.
Store the peppermint candy cane bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
