Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz dark chocolate chips
  • 1 cup crushed candy canes
  • 4 oz white chocolate chips (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bark once set.
  2. Melt Dark Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
  3. Spread Chocolate: Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the lined baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it evenly into a thin layer.
  4. Add Candy Cane Pieces: Evenly sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the melted chocolate while it is still warm so they stick to the surface.
  5. Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave using the same 30-second incremental method until smooth.
  6. Drizzle White Chocolate: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top of the candy cane and dark chocolate layer to create a festive swirl effect.
  7. Set and Break: Allow the bark to cool at room temperature or in the refrigerator until fully set and hardened. Once set, break the bark into individual pieces and serve.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate in the microwave to prevent burning.
  • You can substitute peppermint candies for candy canes if desired.
  • Store bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
  • For quicker setting, refrigerate the bark for about 20-30 minutes.
