Ingredients

  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 8 oz white chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies or candy canes

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, or use a double boiler. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
  • Place in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes, until firm to the touch.
  • Melt the white chocolate the same way, then stir in the peppermint extract. Pour over the chilled semi-sweet layer and spread evenly.
  • Immediately sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies over the white chocolate while it is still soft.
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until fully set and firm.
  • Break into pieces and serve, or package for gifting.

Notes

Make sure the first chocolate layer is completely firm before adding the white chocolate, or the layers will blend together. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
