MINTY, Chocolately goodness that takes hardly any time or ingredients to prepare? Where do we sign-up. Peppermint bark even makes an eye-catching gift wrapped in cellophane to add to hampers or give away on its own in a lovely glass jar.
INGREDIENTS
- 350g milk chocolate, chopped
- 350g white chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 Teaspoon peppermint extract
- 8 candy canes, crushed
DIRECTIONS
Line a sheet tray with baking paper.
Fill the bottom of a large pot with water and bring to simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, then place a large heatproof bowl on top. Add semi-sweet chocolate and stir occasionally until chocolate has melted. Stir in extract.
Pour onto prepared sheet tray and spread into an even layer with an offset spatula. Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.
Over the same pot of barely simmering water, place another large heatproof bowl. Add white chocolate and stir until melted. Pour over set semi-sweet chocolate then top immediately with candy canes. Refrigerate until set, about one hour.
Break apart any way you wish and enjoy!
