Peppermint Bark
Peppermint Bark is one of the easiest Christmas treats you can make! With just 3 ingredients it definitely belongs on your annual cookie tray.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate broken into pieces, use high quality chocolate
- 10 ounces white chocolate broken into pieces, use high quality chocolate
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract optional
- 1/4 cup crushed candy canes or peppermint candies
Instructions
- Line an 8"x"8 baking pan with parchment paper trying to make it as smooth as possible; set aside.
- In a double boiler, first melt the semi sweet chocolate, stirring continuously - don't let the water boil. To microwave, place the chocolate in a glass bowl with a teaspoon of vegetable oil. Microwave on high in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each one, until chocolate is melted. (I prefer the double boiler method)
- Once melted pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Set aside and let set to room temp, don't cool in the refrigerator
- Once the semi-sweet chocolate layer is set, melt the white chocolate in the double boiler. Once melted stir in 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract.
- Pour on top of the semi sweet chocolate layer and spread evenly, tapping the pan lightly on the counter to even it out.
- Sprinkle the crushed candy cane on top of the white chocolate.
- Let cool completely for 2-3 hours and once hardened break into pieces.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Notes
Go wild! Try crushed candy canes, chocolate chips, even nuts to press into the bark.
