Ingredients
Instructions
Line cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper.
In a double boiler (or microwave), melt chocolate stirring continuously. This usually takes about five minutes - less in the microwave. Just ensure that it's totally melted and smooth.
Pour melted chocolate onto cookie sheet and spread until smooth. Allow to partially set for a few minutes (at room temperature) while you move on to the next step. (This keeps it from separating.)
In a double boiler (or microwave), melt white chocolate stirring continuously. Add peppermint extract.Â

Julie’s Tips
You can use sea salt in a salt grinder set to the largest setting to achieve small flakes or use sea salt flakes. Sea salt flakes are more noticeable but both give the same flavor.
Use a food safe peppermint oil so you don’t seize the chocolate.
Use your favorite chocolate brand for this recipe.
If you need to crush your peppermint sticks or candy canes, try adding them to a Ziplock baggie and rolling with a rolling pin.
Store in a cool place in an airtight container for several weeks.

First time making bark and this recipe was a hit! Absolutely delicious and easy to follow. Thank you!
Delicious! I was excited when I saw your spin on this - I've always loved peppermint saltwater taffy because those flavors go together so well and this never occurred to me. Thank you!
Followed recipe exactly & it came out perfect! This one’s a keeper-thanks!
Hi! I know I am commenting quite late on this post, but I just stumbled upon your gorgeous recipe and want to make sure I get it right. Did you set your chocolate in the fridge, freezer, or at room temperature? Roughly how long should it take to melt the chocolate? And about how long does it take for the first layer of chocolate to “partially” set? Thank you, I can’t wait to make this for loved ones during the holidays!
I absolutely loved this recipe! So easy and tasted great! Us there a trick for making sure the 2 chocolates don't separate when you cut into pieces?
Made this for the office as a little Happy Holidays present, and they all loved it! They all asked for the recipe, and I know it will be requested next year as well!
I love making this recipe and giving away as edible Christmas gifts. Everyone always feels so special when you give them something homemade!
Super easy and delicious! Perfect for gift giving during the holiday season!
I've made bark before but it never really set or turned out all that pretty until I started using this recipe. The doubling up of white chocolate over the dark really makes such a difference. Thank you for this!
Such a great recipe for the holidays! Always a favorite in our home; looking forward to giving your recipe a try!
I am so excited about the holidays!! Love peppermint bark!! It's so pretty & perfect for cookie exchanges!
