A delightful twist on the classic chocolate peppermint bark, perfect for holiday celebrations.
Line a 9x12 pan with parchment paper.
Ensure the parchment paper covers the sides of the pan for easy removal.
Melt the semi-sweet dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until smooth.
Stirring between intervals prevents the chocolate from burning.
Pour the melted dark chocolate into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to level the chocolate.
Melt the white chocolate using the same method as the dark chocolate.
Use a clean bowl to avoid mixing the chocolates.
Pour the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer and spread it evenly.
Work quickly to ensure the layers bond together.
Place the peppermint candies in a ziplock bag and crush them using a meat tenderizer.
Crush to your desired size for texture.
Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies over the white chocolate layer while it's still soft.
Press lightly to ensure the candies stick.
Refrigerate the pan for 2 hours to allow the bark to set.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap to prevent odors from the fridge affecting the bark.
Once set, break the bark into pieces and serve or store.
Use your hands or a knife to create pieces of your preferred size.
