Ingredients

• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup White chocolate chips
• 6 pieces Candy canes
• 0.5 teaspoon Peppermint extract (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.

Step 2

Unwrap the candy canes and place them in a resealable plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to crush them into small pieces, leaving some larger chunks for texture. Set aside.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick. Allow it to cool and set slightly, about 5-10 minutes at room temperature or 3-5 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 5

In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. If desired, stir in the peppermint extract for extra flavor.

Step 6

Pour the melted white chocolate over the semi-sweet chocolate layer. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, covering the first layer entirely.

Step 7

Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the white chocolate layer, pressing them down gently so they stick.

Step 8

Allow the bark to set completely at room temperature, about 1-2 hours, or place it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to speed up the process.

Step 9

Once set, break the bark into irregular pieces using your hands or a knife.

Step 10

Store the candy cane bark in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
