Instructions
First, line a sheet pan with wax paper and set it aside.
Next, in a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate on half power for 20-second intervals. Stir between each interval.
20 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
Then, mix ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract in with the milk chocolate and spread out the mixture evenly on the wax paper. Set it in your fridge for 30 minutes to firm.
Afterward, melt the white chocolate in the microwave, just like you did the milk chocolate. Stir in the remaining ½ teaspoon of the peppermint extract and spread the white chocolate over the hardened milk chocolate.
20 ounces white chocolate
Last, crush the candy canes and sprinkle them over the white chocolate and place the bark back into the refrigerator to set (about 30 minutes). After the candy sets, remove it from the refrigerator and break it into pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
