Need a last minute gift idea for a neighbor, teacher or the mailman?! I’ve got you covered with this Peppermint Bark! It’s so easy to make and with only 3 ingredients (and an optional fourth ingredient), it’s budget friendly!

Of course, you don’t have to give it as a gift – you can make some for yourself too! I love treating myself to a bit of this bark with my coffee – with minty creamer!

Need a last minute gift idea for a neighbor, teacher or the mailman?! I've got you covered with this Peppermint Bark! It's so easy to make and with only 3 ingredients (and an optional fourth ingredient), it's budget friendly!

Ingredients

1 bag (12 oz.) good quality dark chocolate
1 bag (12 oz.) good quality white chocolate
1/2 tsp. peppermint extract (optional)
Crushed candy canes or peppermint disks (at least 1/2 cup, up to a full cup)

Instructions

Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper and set aside.
Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler until smooth. Pour out onto the prepared pan.
Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler until smooth. Stir in the extract, if desired. Carefully pour out over the dark chocolate – leveling out with a spatula, taking care not to mix the white and dark chocolate together. Sprinkle with candy canes and gently push them into the chocolate so they adhere.
Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Turn upside down onto a towel and peel off the waxed paper. Break into pieces.
