Peppermint Bark (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
Crush up 2-3 peppermint candy canes.
02 -
1/2 spoon of peppermint flavoring.
03 -
1 1/2 spoons of any neutral oil.
04 -
6 oz of chopped dark chocolate (170g).
05 -
12 oz of chopped white chocolate (339g).
# Instructions:
01 -
Cover the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch square pan with parchment paper.
02 -
Melt half of the white chocolate with 1/2 spoon of oil in short bursts (about 20 seconds per go). Add 1/4 spoon mint flavor. Spread into the lined pan.
03 -
Chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until it’s almost firm.
04 -
Melt the dark chocolate using the same method—add 1/2 spoon of oil and the rest of the mint flavor. Pour on top of the white layer.
05 -
Cool it again in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
06 -
Melt the remaining white chocolate with the last spoon of oil. Pour over the dark chocolate layer and sprinkle the crushed peppermints.
07 -
Let it chill in the fridge for about an hour. If it’s too cold, leave it out for 10-15 minutes before handling.
08 -
Take it out of the pan, peel off the paper, and break into chunks.
# Notes:
01 -
Good-quality chocolate tastes way better.
02 -
Using oil makes it easier to slice later.
03 -
Candy melts aren’t a great swap here.
04 -
No need to do the fancy chocolate tempering.
