Description
Create your own salted peppermint bark — a festive mix of rich chocolate, cool peppermint, and a touch of sea salt. This quick and easy 13-minute holiday candy makes perfect gifts or party treats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 oz light cocoa candy melts (or chocolate chips)
- 20 oz white almond bark (or white chocolate chips)
- 1 tsp oil-based peppermint extract
- 3 oz crushed peppermint (candy canes or peppermint sticks)
- 1½ tsp sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, extending beyond the edges for easy removal.
- Melt the light cocoa candy melts in a double boiler or microwave using 30-second bursts at 50% power, stirring until smooth.
- Pour melted chocolate onto the lined sheet and spread evenly. Let it partially set for 3–5 minutes.
- Melt the white almond bark using the same method. Stir in the peppermint extract until fully combined.
- Spread the white peppermint chocolate over the semi-set dark chocolate layer, smoothing gently to create even coverage.
- Sprinkle crushed peppermint and sea salt flakes evenly over the top. Press toppings gently so they adhere.
- Let bark set completely at room temperature for 30–60 minutes until firm.
- Once hardened, cut or break into pieces and enjoy.
Notes
Avoid refrigerating during setting to prevent separation between chocolate layers. Use only oil-based peppermint extract to keep chocolate smooth and glossy.
