Ingredients
- 2 cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies or candy canes
Instructions
Prepare the Tray
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and helps remove the bark easily.
Melt Dark Chocolate

Spread First Layer

Chill the Layer

Melt White Chocolate

Add Peppermint Flavor
- Mix peppermint extract into melted white chocolate. Stir gently to combine the flavor evenly.
Spread Second Layer
- Pour white chocolate over dark layer. Spread gently to avoid mixing layers too much.
Add Peppermint Topping

Chill Until Set

Break and Serve
