Ingredients

• 12 oz Dark chocolate chips
• 12 oz White chocolate chips
• 1 tsp Peppermint extract
• 1 cup Crushed peppermint candy
• 3 drops Orange food coloring (optional)
• 3 drops Black food coloring (optional)
• 1 sheet Parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 3

Stir in 1 drop of black food coloring (optional) into the melted dark chocolate to give it a spooky hue.

Step 4

Pour the dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly into a thin layer with a spatula. Let it sit for 10 minutes, or until slightly set but still tacky.

Step 5

Melt the white chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 6

Stir in the peppermint extract and orange food coloring (optional) into the melted white chocolate for a subtle haunted orange glow.

Step 7

Pour the white chocolate over the partially set dark chocolate layer, spreading gently to create a second even layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candy evenly over the top while the white chocolate is still soft, gently pressing the pieces down so they adhere.

Step 9

Let the bark cool completely at room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to fully harden.

Step 10

Once set, break the bark into uneven pieces for a rustic look. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
