How to Make Peppermint Bark Candy

  1. Melt 2 pounds of dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Microwave on defrost or 50% power in 1-minute intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. (This may take 2-4 minutes total).
  3. Gently stir in 1 cup of crushed peppermint candies until evenly distributed throughout the melted chocolate.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
  5. Spread the melted chocolate mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a layer about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
  7. Once firm, break the peppermint bark into small pieces. You can use a sharp knife or simply break it apart by hand.
  8. Enjoy your delicious homemade Peppermint Bark Candy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
