Ingredients
Scale
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 ounces white chocolate chips
1 cup crushed candy canes
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until completely smooth.
Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it into an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm to the touch.
Melt the white chocolate chips using the same method as the semi-sweet chocolate, stirring until smooth.
Pour the melted white chocolate over the set dark chocolate layer. Spread it evenly.
Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes evenly over the white chocolate layer. Gently press them into the chocolate so they stick.
Return the sheet to the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the bark is completely firm.
Once firm, break the peppermint bark into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
For a William Sonoma inspired look, use high-quality dark and white chocolate bars instead of chips.
If you want a stronger mint flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of pure peppermint extract to the melted white chocolate before spreading.
If you are making this for gifting, you can cut the bark into uniform squares instead of breaking it randomly.
