    You must have Chocolate Peppermint Bark during the Christmas Holiday. No need to pay a fortune for it when you can make it at home!
    Chocolate Peppermint Bark

    Peppermint Bark is a popular treat in our family around the Holidays. I'm sure it's popular in many families. While not terribly expensive to buy, I figured how hard can it be to make? This Chocolate Peppermint Bark would be a fun recipe to make with the kids.

    Chocolate Peppermint Bark

    For this recipe, I decided to use white and milk chocolate for the base. I made mine fairly thin but If you like a thicker bark I would suggest using a smaller sheet. If you are not a fan of white chocolate you can use all dark chocolate.

    I figured adding coarsely chopped peppermint patties in addition to the crushed candy canes would make the bark really pepperminty. It might be a little much for some so you can leave out the peppermint patties all together and just use the candy canes.

    🥣 How do I Make this Chocolate Peppermint Bark

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Place semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or glass measuring cup. Microwave in 15-second intervals until almost melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Repeat with white chocolate.
    Alternate spoonfuls of melted chocolates close together on the prepared sheet. Draw a knife tip through chocolate mixtures to create a marbled effect. Large swirls look better than small ones.
    Drape a kitchen towel on the counter and firmly tap the bottom of the pan on the towel to smooth the surface of the chocolate and remove any air bubbles. Sprinkle with the candy cane and peppermint patties, pressing lightly into chocolate.
    Refrigerate until firm, 30 to 45 minutes. Break into large pieces.
