With its delicious white and dark chocolate layers, festive candy cane crunch, and refreshing peppermint flavor, this peppermint bark is a holiday candy that's almost too good to give away.
Gently melt the dark chocolate, heating it on very low heat or over hot water until it barely melts
Stir in the peppermint oil, then spread it into an 8" x 12" oval on parchment paper or foil.
Allow the chocolate to set, but not harden completely.
Melt the white chocolate. For best results (and a hard, shiny finish), consider tempering the chocolate rather than just melting it.
Mix the melted white chocolate with about half the peppermint crunch. Spread the mixture over the dark chocolate.
Sprinkle the rest of the peppermint crunch on top, pressing it in gently.
Allow the peppermint bark to cool until hardened, then break or cut it into chunks.
Store peppermint bark airtight at room temperature for up to a week; freeze for longer storage.
