Ingredients
- 8 ounces milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 8 ounces white chocolate chips, almond bark, or white candy melts
- 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies or candy canes
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt milk or semi-sweet chocolate using a double boiler or microwave (in 30-second intervals), stirring until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, melt white chocolate the same way until smooth.
- Spoon dollops of each chocolate onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, alternating between milk and white chocolate.
- Use a butter knife or offset spatula to swirl the chocolates together into a marbled pattern.
- Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies evenly over the warm chocolate surface.
- Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or until the bark is completely firm.
- Once set, break into pieces by hand or cut with a sharp knife.
- Serve immediately or store for later use.
Notes
- No need to temper chocolate—just chill until firm.
- Use candy canes if peppermint candies are unavailable.
- Microwave chocolate carefully to avoid burning.
- Swirl chocolate gently for a beautiful marbled effect.
- Add a few drops of peppermint extract for extra minty flavor.
