A delightful holiday treat combining layers of chocolate and peppermint for a festive and delicious dessert.
Line a 9x13 inch dish with wax paper and set aside.
Using wax paper ensures easy removal of the bark once set.
Melt the white chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
Stir the chocolate frequently to prevent burning.
Stir in the peppermint extract and half of the crushed candy canes into the melted white chocolate.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the peppermint flavor.
Pour the white chocolate mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly. Refrigerate until set.
Ensure the layer is smooth for an even base.
Melt the dark chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
Use a clean utensil to avoid mixing with the white chocolate.
Pour the melted dark chocolate over the set white chocolate layer and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining crushed candy canes on top.
Press the candy canes gently into the chocolate to ensure they stick.
Refrigerate the dish until the bark is fully set, then break into pieces and serve.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts if you prefer uniform pieces.
