Homemade Peppermint Bark
Report
A simple recipe for homemade peppermint bark! Made with dark chocolate and peppermint-infused white chocolate, then topped off with crushed candy cane pieces, you’ll never need to buy store-bought peppermint bark again!

Ingredients
- 8 ounces dark chocolate chopped into small pieces (I like to use a premium baking bar, and usually choose 60%)
- 8 ounces premium white chocolate chopped into small pieces
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract not “mint” extract
- ⅓ cup Crushed candy canes divided
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 baking pan with wax paper. Set aside.
- Place chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir well. Return to microwave and heat on 15-second increments (stirring well between each) until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract.
- Spread melted dark chocolate evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan. Set aside (do not refrigerate) and prepare your white chocolate layer.
- Place your chopped white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir well. Return to microwave and heat on 15-second increments (stirring well between each) until white chocolate is completely melted.
- Stir in remaining peppermint extract. Add ¼ cup of crushed candy canes to the white chocolate and gently fold in until evenly distributed.
- Spread white chocolate evenly (and gently, in case chocolate has not completely set) over dark chocolate layer.
- Immediately sprinkle white chocolate layer with remaining candy cane pieces.
- Allow peppermint bark to harden completely at room temperature before cutting/breaking into pieces and enjoying.
Notes
- Do not allow the layers to set (if the first layer sets too much, the layers will separate).
- Use good quality chocolate, many brands of chocolate chips will not set properly. White chocolate with cocoa butter produces the best results.
- Do not refrigerate (during or after making).
- You can make this with just white or just dark/milk chocolate.
- If your layers separate, the chocolate can be remelted on low. Pour the dark chocolate in the pan, drop the white chocolate overtop and gently swirl together.
