Holiday Minty Chocolate Bark Delight

Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Microwave or Double Boiler
- Bowls
Ingredients
- 24 ounces Dark Chocolate Chips or Melts good quality (about 4 cups)
- 20 ounces White Chocolate Chips or Melts good quality (about 3 cups)
- 1 tsp Peppermint Extract food-grade
- 3 ounces Crushed Peppermint Candies or Candy Canes (about ½ cup)
- 1.5 tsp Flaky Sea Salt
Instructions
- Prepare Your Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal of your delicious bark.
- Melt the Dark Chocolate: Gently melt the dark chocolate chips or melts. You can do this in a microwave (heating in 30-second intervals, stirring well each time until smooth) or using a double boiler over simmering water.
- Create the Base Layer: Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly into a thin layer. Let it set slightly at room temperature for a few minutes while you prepare the next layer – this simple trick helps prevent the layers from separating.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a separate bowl, melt the white chocolate chips or melts using the same gentle method. Once smooth, stir in the peppermint extract for that festive kick.
- Form the Top Layer: Carefully pour the melted white chocolate over the partially set dark chocolate layer. Spread it gently to cover the dark chocolate evenly.
- Add Festive Toppings: Immediately sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies and flaky sea salt evenly over the still-wet white chocolate layer.
- Chill and Enjoy: Let the bark set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until firm. Once firm, break or cut the bark into festive, bite-sized pieces.
