Main Ingredients
- 7 ounces (199g) white chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 ounce (1/4 cup) green candy melts
- 1/4 teaspoon canola or vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 8 ounces (226g) semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- Optional: 1/3 cup chopped Andes mints
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the chocolate from sticking and set it aside.
- Melt white chocolate and candy melts: Using a double boiler or microwave, melt the white chocolate and green candy melts together. If microwaving, stir every 20 seconds to prevent seizing. Once melted and smooth, stir in the canola oil and peppermint extract, then set aside.
- Melt semi-sweet chocolate: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate using the same method as in step 2. Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into a large rectangle.
- Swirl the chocolates: Drizzle the white chocolate mixture in lines over the semi-sweet chocolate. Using a toothpick or knife, gently swirl the two chocolates together to create a marbled effect. If desired, sprinkle chopped Andes mints evenly over the top.
- Set the bark: Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature in a cool, dry place for about 45 minutes. To speed up the process, chill in the refrigerator until hardened.
- Break into pieces: Once fully set, break the bark into pieces of your preferred size and enjoy or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- For best results, use a double boiler to melt chocolates gently and avoid overheating.
- If using a microwave, stirring frequently prevents the chocolate from seizing or burning.
- Canola or vegetable oil helps to keep the white chocolate mixture glossy and smooth.
- Peppermint extract is strong; add carefully to avoid overpowering the chocolate flavor.
- Andes mints add a nice crunch and extra mint flavor but are optional.
- Store bark in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator to maintain firmness.
