How to Make Mccormick's Peppermint Bark

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (for easier removal than foil).
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate baking pieces, stirring frequently until smooth.
  3. Place 1 cup of unwrapped peppermint candies in a ziploc bag and crush using a rolling pin or hammer until finely crushed. Set aside.
  4. Once the chocolate is almost completely melted, remove from heat.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of McCormick's Pure Peppermint Extract.
  6. Gently stir until the extract is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  7. Spread the chocolate mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet to a 1/4-inch thickness using a metal spatula.
  8. (Optional) Add 2-3 drops of red food coloring, swirling gently with a wooden skewer for a marbled effect.
  9. Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies evenly over the chocolate layer. Gently press them into the chocolate with the spatula.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
  11. Once set, break the bark into pieces.
  12. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
