Looking for a simple addition to your holiday baking? This no bake peppermint bark is easy to make and delicious!
Ingredients:
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
½ teaspoon peppermint extract
8 ounces white chocolate, chopped into small pieces
⅓ cup crushed candy cane pieces
Directions:
Line an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, shiny-side up; smooth out any wrinkles.
Place chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir well. Return to microwave and heat on 15-second increments (stirring well between each) until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract.
Spread melted semi-sweet chocolate evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan. Set aside (do not refrigerate) and prepare your white chocolate layer.
Place your chopped white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir well. Return to microwave and heat on 15-second increments (stirring well between each) until white chocolate is completely melted.
Stir in remaining peppermint extract. Add ¼ cup of crushed candy canes to the white chocolate and gently fold in until evenly distributed.
Spread white chocolate evenly (and gently, in case chocolate has not completely set) over dark chocolate layer. Immediately sprinkle white chocolate layer with remaining candy cane pieces.
Allow peppermint bark to harden completely at room temperature before cutting/breaking into pieces and enjoying.
