Ingredients
  

White Chocolate Layer
  • 12 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped and divided
  • 1.5 teaspoons vegetable oil or coconut oil, divided
  • 0.5 teaspoon peppermint extract, divided
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Layer
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 0.5 teaspoon vegetable oil or coconut oil
  • 0.25 teaspoon peppermint extract
Topping
  • 2-3 regular-size candy canes, crushed

Equipment

  • 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan
  • Microwave
  • heatproof bowls

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, smoothing out any wrinkles.
  2. Place 6 ounces of white chocolate with 1/2 teaspoon of oil in a small heatproof bowl. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring vigorously until smooth. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract.
  3. Pour this into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until almost set.
  4. In a clean bowl, melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate with 1/2 teaspoon of oil using the microwave method. Stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract.
  5. Pour over the chilled white chocolate layer and spread smoothly. Return to the refrigerator for another 10-15 minutes until nearly set.
  6. Melt the remaining white chocolate with the last 1/2 teaspoon of oil. Pour this layer over the semi-sweet chocolate and spread uniformly.
  7. Evenly sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the top white chocolate layer while it is still soft.
  8. Refrigerate until fully set, about 1 hour. Remove from the pan by peeling off the parchment or foil. Break or cut into pieces.
  9. If the bark has chilled for more than 3-4 hours, let it come to room temperature for 10-15 minutes before breaking to prevent layer separation.
  10. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
