Peppermint Bark

Print Recipe

A simple, festive treat that combines creamy white chocolate, rich dark chocolate, and crunchy peppermint for a perfect holiday indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped and divided
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil or coconut oil, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract, divided
  • 2–3 regular-size candy canes, crushed

Instructions

  1. Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Set aside.
  2. Place 6 ounces of the white chocolate and 1/2 teaspoon of the oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second increments until smooth and melted. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract, pour into the prepared pan, and spread evenly. Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes until almost set.
  3. Melt the semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of oil, stirring until glossy and smooth. Stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract. Pour over the chilled white chocolate layer and spread evenly. Return to the refrigerator for another 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. Melt the remaining 6 ounces of white chocolate with the last 1/2 teaspoon of oil until smooth. Pour over the previous layers and spread evenly. Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the top, pressing them gently into the warm chocolate.
  5. Refrigerate until completely set, about 1 hour. Lift the bark from the pan using the parchment or foil, then cut or break into pieces.

Notes

For best results, use good-quality chocolate and work quickly when pouring the top layer.
