Super Yummy Peppermint Bark
- 3 cups dark chocolate wafers
- 4 cups white chocolate wafers
- 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 12 cup peppermint candy (crushed)
- nonstick cooking spray
- Heat oven to 250F degrees.
- Take a 9 x 13 baking sheet, line with foil, then coat with non stick spray.
- Pour dark chocolate wafers onto sheet and bake in the oven for five minutes or until slightly melted.
- Using an offset spatula, smooth out chocolate into an even layer.
- Refrigerate for at least a half an hour.
- Crush your peppermint candies, if you had not already done so.
- I state a generous half a cup as mine resembled a heaping cup of pre-crushed candies.
- Here I used a pestle and mortar, but I've heard using coffee bean grinders work just as well.
- Melt your white chocolate.
- I don't have a double broiler, so I modify this by using a small (or medium) glass mixing bowl affixed on top of a pot filled with an inch of water, just slightly below boiling.
- As long as the bowl doesn't touch the bottom of the pan, it'll work.
- Keep stirring until the white chocolate is smooth in consistency.
- Remove from heat and stir in the peppermint extract.
- We let the white chocolate cool slightly to prevent it from melting the dark.
- Working quickly, spread the peppermint white chocolate mixture on top of the dark chocolate.
- Top with the crushed peppermints and refrigerate for another half hour.
- Separate with a knife, serve and enjoy!
