Peppermint Bark Recipe Featuring All Natural Candy Canes!
Recipe type: Dessert
Prep time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 12
 
Ingredients
  • 12 oz chopped bittersweet chocolate (I often use semi sweet chocolate and it tastes great too)
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract divided (can use more to taste)
  • 12 oz chopped white chocolate
  • ¾ cup chopped candy canes divided
Instructions
  1. Line an 11 x 17 in baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside
  2. Melt the bittersweet chocolate in the top of a double boiler (aka a big pot with some water in it, then a sauce pan inside that w/the chocolate in it) stirring constantly.
  3. Stir in ¼ teaspoon of peppermint extract
  4. Spread chocolate evenly onto the prepared sheet using a spatula and chill until set - usually about an hour or so. Be sure its really set well though.
  5. Once bittersweet chocolate is set melt the white chocolate in the double boiler. Add the other ¼ t of peppermint extract as well as ½ of the candy canes.
  6. Now, spread the white chocolate mixture over the set bittersweet chocolate being sure to spread to the edge of the pan with a spatula.
  7. Sprinkle remaining ½ of the candy canes over the entire sheet of peppermint bark.
  8. Chill until set, about four hours or, preferably, overnight. Once completely set, break into pieces and serve. Keep cold unless eating and the Peppermint Bark will keep in the refrigerator for 5-6 weeks.
