Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Chocolate Layers
  • 8 ounces milk or semi-sweet chocolate Provides a luscious, creamy base.
  • 8 ounces white chocolate chips, white almond bark, or white candy melts Adds creaminess and visual appeal.
Toppings
  • 1/4 cup crushed peppermints Adds a refreshing crunch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Fill two saucepans about one-third full of water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a low boil.
Melting the Chocolate
  1. Place a heat-safe glass bowl over each saucepan, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
  2. Add the milk or semi-sweet chocolate to one bowl and the white chocolate to the other; stir occasionally as they melt.
Creating the Bark
  1. Spoon the melted chocolates alternately onto the lined cookie sheet, creating swirls and patterns.
  2. Gently drag a butter knife through the chocolate layers for a marble effect.
  3. Sprinkle the crushed peppermints over the chocolate.
  4. Chill the cookie sheet in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours to let the chocolate harden.
  5. Once set, snap or cut the bark into irregular pieces and serve.

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor, and consider adding nuts or colorful sprinkles for decoration.
