Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 16 ounces white chocolate wafers (we prefer Ghirardelli)
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 3/4 cups crushed peppermints or candy canes
Instructions
- Pour the semisweet chocolate chips in a glass bowl and microwave for 30 second increments until melted. Stir until completely smooth.
- Spread the chocolate into a 9″x 13″ rectangle on a clean counter (or a piece of parchment paper) using an offset spatula or knife. Let the chocolate cool until set. I do not recommend placing the chocolate in the fridge. If it's too hard, the top white chocolate layer will not "stick" to it as well.
- Place the white chocolate wafers in a glass bowl and microwave for 30 second increments until melted. Add the peppermint extract and stir until smooth.
- Spread the peppermint white chocolate mixture over the semi-sweet chocolate layer. Top with the chopped peppermints. Let harden until the chocolate is completely set.
- Use a shape knife to cut the bark into pieces. Serve and enjoy!
