Ingredients
  

For the Bark
  • 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 bag
  • 2 cups White chocolate chips 1 bag
  • 0.5 cups Crushed peppermint candy or candy canes Add more if you like it extra minty

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in microwave in 20 to 30 second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth.
  3. Spread the melted semi-sweet chocolate into an even layer on the parchment paper, aiming for about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Let the base layer set for about 10 to 15 minutes on the counter or 5 minutes in the fridge.
  5. Melt the white chocolate chips similarly, then pour it over the semi-sweet layer and spread to the edges.
  6. Immediately sprinkle crushed peppermint over the top and gently press them in to ensure they stick.
  7. Chill in the fridge until fully firm for 20 to 30 minutes.
  8. Once hard, lift off the pan and break into pieces.

Notes

Use good quality chocolate chips for the best taste. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Optional: crush peppermint canes in a zip bag with a rolling pin.
