Description
Dark chocolate and white chocolate in thin layers, finished with crushed peppermint candy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces Dark or semisweet chocolate, chopped or in baking wafers
- 12 ounces White chocolate, chopped or in baking wafers
- 1/3 cup Crushed peppermint candy
Instructions
- Line the pan with parchment. Crush and measure the peppermint candy. Keep every bowl and spatula completely dry.
- Set a dry heatproof bowl over barely simmering water without letting its base touch the water. Melt the dark chocolate gently, stirring until smooth. Spread it into a roughly 9-by-12-inch even rectangle on the parchment.
- Let the dark layer begin to set until the surface is no longer runny but still slightly tacky. In a clean, dry bowl, gently melt the white chocolate and allow it to cool briefly until just warm and spreadable.
- Spoon white chocolate over the dark layer and spread gently without pressing into the lower layer. Immediately scatter the crushed peppermint candy over the top and press only lightly.
- Let the bark set completely in a cool, dry place or chill briefly. Once firm, lift the parchment and break into approximately 24 irregular pieces. Check that the two layers adhere before packaging.
