Peppermint Bark
Classic blend of white and dark chocolate with the crunch and punch of peppermint.
Ingredients
- 12 oz. Semi-sweet chocolate
- 12 oz. White chocolate
- 1/2 tsp. Peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup Crushed candy canes or peppermint candies
Instructions
- Line a 13 x 18" sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Fill the bottom of a large pot with about 3 inches water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, then place a heat-proof bowl or another pot on top.
- Add the semi-sweet chocolate and stir occasionally until chocolate melts.
- Stir in 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract. Pour the chocolate into the prepared sheet pan and spread using an offset spatula creating an even layer about 1/8" thick. Refrigerate until set; about 20 minutes.
- Over the same pot of barely simmering water, place another pot or heat-proof bowl. Add the white chocolate and stir until melted. Pour over the 'set' semi-sweet chocolate spreading evenly, then top with crushed peppermint candy. Press the peppermint lightly into the warm white chocolate.
- Refrigerate until set; about 20 minutes. When set, break into uneven pieces.
