Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 12 ounces white chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup crushed candy canes

Instructions

  1. Line an 18×13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  3. Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it into an even layer.
  4. Sprinkle half of the crushed candy canes evenly over the dark chocolate layer.
  5. Melt the white chocolate using the same method as the dark chocolate until smooth.
  6. Pour the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer. Spread it gently to cover the dark chocolate.
  7. Immediately sprinkle the remaining crushed candy canes over the white chocolate layer. Press them lightly into the chocolate.
  8. Refrigerate the bark for at least 30 minutes, or until completely firm.
  9. Once firm, break the bark into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For a copycat version, use high-quality chocolate bars instead of chips.
  • If you want a stronger peppermint flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the melted white chocolate before spreading.
  • This recipe is excellent for making Christmas snack gifts for neighbors and friends.
