Ingredients
- 16 oz white chocolate, coarsely chopped and divided
- 8 oz semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil or coconut oil (divided)
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract (divided)
- 5–6 candy canes, crushed
Instructions
- Line an 8- or 9-inch square pan (or baking sheet) with parchment paper or foil.
- Melt half the white chocolate with 1 teaspoon oil until smooth. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract and spread evenly in the pan. Chill 10–15 minutes until almost set.
- Melt semi-sweet chocolate with 1 teaspoon oil. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract and spread over the first layer. Chill another 10–15 minutes.
- Melt remaining white chocolate with a little oil, spread over the semi-sweet layer, and sprinkle crushed candy canes evenly on top.
- Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until fully set. Lift from pan and break or cut into pieces before serving.
Notes
- Alternate the chocolate order for a different look.
- Make a two-layer version for simplicity.
- Swirl chocolate layers together for a marbled effect.
- Adapt into peppermint bark cookies or fudge using the same layering concept.
- Let bark sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before breaking to prevent layer separation.
