I had always wanted to try making peppermint bark. I love peppermint and chocolate, it is such a great combination. The recipe looked easy enough. It has been quite busy this holiday season and I needed an easy treat to make and give as gifts. Now was a great time to give it a try.
Peppermint Bark
Ingredients
12 ounce milk chocolate melts
12 ounce white chocolate melts
2 teaspoons peppermint extract
10 peppermint candy canes, crushed, divided
Directions
- Line a 9X14 inch cookie pan with aluminum foil.
- Melt the milk chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 5 minutes. Do not overheat or chocolate will scorch.
- Stir in the peppermint extract. Spread the chocolate evenly in the prepared pan; chill for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 5 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup of the crushed candy canes.
- Spread the white chocolate mixture evenly over the milk chocolate. Sprinkle the remaining candy cane pieces evenly over the white chocolate layer. Chill until set, about 1 hour. Break into small pieces to serve.
