The warm white chocolate will slightly melt the dark chocolate so gently swirl it with a spoon making a pretty swirl design and stay on the top of the dark chocolate. (You don’t need to push hard to penetrate the bottom layer of chocolate.)

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 10 Oz. Bag dark chocolate chips
  • 1 11 Oz. Bag white chocolate chips
  • 1 Tsp. Pure peppermint extract
  • 2 Candy Canes crushed

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with tin foil for easy clean up.
  • Put the dark chocolate chips in a microwave safe glass measuring cup. Put in microwave for 30 second intervals (stirring in between) until melted and smooth. (should take 3 – 4 rounds)
  • Pour the chocolate on the prepared baking sheet and spread out using a spatula or the back of a spoon. Try to get it into an even
  • rectangle. Put in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, put your candy canes in a sealed baggie and crush by banging it with a rolling pin, heavy pot or a meat mallet. You want some peppermint pieces and some dust in the mix. Put to the side.
  • In a clean measuring cup, put the white chocolate chips. Melt them in the microwave the same way you did the dark chocolate chips-in 30 second intervals. Stir until smooth. Add the peppermint extract and stir into the mix. Let cool two minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the fridge and pour on the white chocolate. Using a spoon or spatula spread it out to cover the entire dark chocolate base. The warm white chocolate will slightly melt the dark chocolate so gently swirl it with a spoon making a pretty swirl design and stay on the top of the dark chocolate. (You don’t need to push hard to penetrate the bottom layer of chocolate.) Sprinkle with the crushed peppermint and press gently so it adheres to the chocolate. Put in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to harden.
  • Break the bark into pieces (size of your choice). Serve on a platter or bag up as gifts. Either way, these are delicious and all your peppermint loving friends are going to be thrilled. This one is for you, Carly!
