Ingredients
- 12 ounces chocolate chips 12 ounces is 2 cups, semi-sweet
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips 12 ounces is 2 cups
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- ¼ cup Peppermint pieces candy canes or other hard peppermint candies
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt optional
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, wax paper or aluminum foil sprayed lightly with cooking oil. Set the pan to the side.
- Add semi-sweet chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat for a minute at half power, then stir with a dry spoon. Continue heating the chocolate in thirty-second increments until it forms a smooth chocolate sauce. Stir the vanilla into the chocolate.
- Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly with a spatula. It will be about 1/8 inch thick. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate has set.
- In a second microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat for a minute at half power, then stir with a dry spoon. Continue heating the white chocolate in thirty-second increments until it forms a smooth white chocolate sauce. Stir in the peppermint extract.
- Remove the pan from the fridge. Pour the white chocolate mixture over the semi-sweet chocolate layer and spread it evenly. Spread it quickly, as the white chocolate will start to set quickly on the cold semi-sweet chocolate.
- Immediately sprinkle the crushed peppermint over the chocolate. Add the optional sea salt evenly over the white chocolate. Gently press the peppermint into the chocolate to help it stick firmly before the chocolate sets.
- Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator and let the peppermint bark chill for 30-45 minutes or until the chocolate has fully firmed.
- Use a knife to chop the peppermint bark into pieces, or break it up with your hands. Then serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips can easily be swapped for the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
