Peppermint Bark Recipe
This easy Peppermint Bark is such a fun holiday treat - layers of dark and white chocolate, flavoured with peppermint and dusted with crushed candy canes. A great homemade gift idea.
Servings: 10 pieces
Equipment
Ingredients
- 200 g white chocolate
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 0.25 tsp peppermint extract
- 4-5 peppermint candy canes
Instructions
- Crush the candy canes in a pestle and mortar (or in a bag, bashing them with a rolling pin) - you want a mixture of dust and very small pieces of candy cane.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a bowl over hot water. Line a baking tray with baking paper, then pour the chocolate onto this. Spread out using a palette knife or back of a spoon to around 5mm thick.
- Place the tray in the fridge (for max 10-15 mins until just starting to set - this should be ready by the time you’ve completed step 2)
- Melt the white chocolate in a bowl over hot water (or in the microwave). Stir in the peppermint extract.
- Remove the dark chocolate from the fridge - it should be firm but not completely solid. Pour the white chocolate over the top and spread over the top of the dark chocolate, being careful not to mix the two colours together.
- Sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the top, then place back in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours to set solid. Snap into pieces to serve!
