Ingredients
- 6 oz chocolate (3/4 cup) dark or semi-sweet
- 6 oz white chocolate (3/4 cup)
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint oil (optional)
- 6 oz red candy melts (3/4 cup)
- 1/2 cup crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave following the instructions on the package. Spread it out in a large rectangle shape on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature.
- Melt the white chocolate according to the instructions on the package. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint oil it desired. Spread over the cooled chocolate.
- Melt the red candy melts in the microwave following the instructions on the package. Drizzle the melted red candy melts over the white chocolate before it hardens. To make this step easier you can put the melted red candy melts in a pastry bag, cut off the tip and pipe it onto the white chocolate.
- Drag the tip of a wooden skewer through the red candy melts and white chocolate layers in opposite directions to make the swirls.
- Sprinkle with chopped candy canes and gently press them into the still soft bark.
- Allow the peppermint swirl bark to harden at room temperature and then cut or break it into pieces.
