How to Make Candy Cane Bark

  1. Line an 11 x 17 inch baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the bark later. Set aside.
  2. Melt 12 ounces of dark chocolate in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir in 4 drops of peppermint oil and mix thoroughly.
  4. Spread the melted dark chocolate evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until completely set.
  5. Melt 8 ounces of white chocolate in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat.
  6. Stir in 4 drops of peppermint oil and 1/2 cup crushed candy canes. Mix gently until combined.
  7. Spread the white chocolate mixture evenly over the chilled dark chocolate layer, ensuring it reaches the edges of the pan.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for up to 3 weeks. This allows the bark to set completely and develop a nice snap.
  9. Once firm, lift the bark from the baking sheet using the parchment paper overhang. Break into pieces and serve or package as gifts.
