Units
Scale
- 12 oz semisweet or dark chocolate chips or bars
- 12 oz white chocolate chips or bars
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (divided)
- 1/2 cup crushed candy canes or peppermint candies
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Melt semisweet or dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. Chill for about 20 minutes until firm.
- Melt white chocolate using the same method. Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract.
- Pour white chocolate over the chilled dark chocolate layer. Gently spread evenly.
- Immediately sprinkle crushed candy canes on top, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Chill for 30 minutes or until completely set.
- Break or cut into shards and store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor and texture.
- Ensure bottom chocolate layer is firm but not ice-cold before adding the white layer to prevent separation.
- Store in a cool, dry place to avoid sticky candy canes.
- Peppermint oil can be used in place of extract—use only 1/4 teaspoon or less.
- Customize with nuts, cookies, or additional chocolate layers if desired.
