Easy 5-Ingredient Peppermint Bark Recipe

Ingredients

• 8 ounces high-quality semisweet chocolate, broken into pieces
• 2 teaspoons canola oil, divided
• 0.5 teaspoon peppermint extract, divided
• 8 ounces high-quality white chocolate, broken into pieces
• 25 peppermint candies, crushed, divided

Instructions

1. Line a 9x9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper or waxed paper, ensuring a smooth surface free of wrinkles.
2. In a double boiler, combine the dark chocolate and 1 teaspoon of canola oil over simmering water. Stir frequently with a rubber spatula, being careful not to burn the chocolate, until completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract.
3. Pour the melted dark chocolate into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom. Sprinkle half of the crushed peppermint candy over the chocolate layer. Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until completely set.
4. In a double boiler, combine the white chocolate and the remaining 1 teaspoon of canola oil over simmering water. Stir frequently with a rubber spatula, being careful not to burn the chocolate, until the white chocolate is completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract.
5. Pour the melted white chocolate evenly over the hardened dark chocolate layer in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining crushed peppermint candy over the top, gently pressing it into the white chocolate. Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until completely set.
6. Remove the peppermint bark from the pan and break it into bite-sized pieces to serve and enjoy.
