Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 12 ounces dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted.
- Pour the melted white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips using the same method as the white chocolate.
- Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the white chocolate layer. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the chocolates together for a marbled effect.
- Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes evenly over the chocolate. Gently press them into the chocolate so they adhere.
- Let the bark set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until firm. For faster setting, you can place it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
- Once firm, break the peppermint bark into pieces.
Notes
- Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Ensure your candy canes are finely crushed for even distribution.
- Store the peppermint bark in an airtight container at room temperature.
