Ingredients
- 10 ounces dark or semi-sweet chocolate, either bar chocolate cut in pieces for easier melting, or chips
- 1 tsp espresso powder or instant coffee powder
- 10 ounces white chocolate, either bar chocolate, or white almond bark, cut in pieces for easier melting Note: I don't recommend white chocolate chips as they do not melt easily.
- 4 Tbsp crushed peppermint, amount is approximate Buy Andes Crushed Peppermint here.
Instructions
- Put the dark chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on full power for 60 seconds. Let the bowl sit for a minute, then stir. Microwave for another 30 seconds, let sit for a minute, and stir again. Let the heat of the bowl help melt the final bits of chocolate, while you stir.
- When the chocolate is completely melted, stir in the coffee powder.
- Scrape out the chocolate onto a parchment lined baking sheet and spread out into roughly an 8x10 rectangle.
- Melt the white chocolate as above. Note: if you are using actual white chocolate, the best method for melting will be gently in a double boiler. White confectionary or bark can be melted in the microwave.
- Stir half of the crushed peppermint into the white chocolate.
- Pour over the dark chocolate layer.
- Spread out gently over the entire surface. If you like, you can take a chopstick or blunt knife and swirl the two layers together.
- Sprinkle the rest of the peppermint over the top. Let harden completely before cutting into shards.
