Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
- 300 grams White chocolate chips
- 150 grams Peppermint candies (crushed)
- 0.5 teaspoons Peppermint extract
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Place the semisweet chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring well after each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted semisweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer about 1/4-inch thick. Place the tray in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the white chocolate chips to another microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until fully melted and smooth.
Stir the peppermint extract into the melted white chocolate until evenly combined.
Remove the baking sheet with the set semisweet chocolate from the refrigerator, and pour the melted white chocolate over the top. Use a spatula to gently spread it into an even layer over the semisweet chocolate.
Immediately sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies evenly over the top of the white chocolate layer, gently pressing them down so they stick as the chocolate begins to set.
Transfer the baking sheet back to the refrigerator and allow the bark to set completely, which takes about 20–30 minutes.
Once the chocolate has hardened, remove the bark from the refrigerator and break it into various-sized pieces using your hands or a knife.
Store the peppermint crunch bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
