Peppermint Bark Candy Recipe With White Chocolate
Ingredients:
Making this delicious holiday treat starts with gathering the ingredients. You’ll need 2 packages of white chocolate chips, one package of candy canes, 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 4 ounces of peppermint candy.
The white chocolate chips will be melted, so you’ll need to prepare a double boiler. If you don’t have one, it’s easy to make one using a pot with a few inches of water and a heat-resistant bowl that fits inside the pot without touching the water.
You’ll also need wax paper and a 9x13 inch pan. Line the pan with the wax paper, leaving extra paper over the edges so you can easily lift the bark out of the pan when it’s finished.
Instructions:
To make the peppermint bark, start by melting the white chocolate chips in the double boiler. Use low heat and stir the chips as they melt. Once they are melted, pour them into the lined pan. Spread the chocolate evenly in the pan and set aside.
While the white chocolate is cooling, place the candy canes in a resealable plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. You want the pieces to be small enough to be scattered over the chocolate, but not so small that they dissolve.
Next, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the double boiler. Once they are melted, pour them over the white chocolate layer. Use a spatula to spread the semi-sweet chocolate evenly over the white chocolate.
Sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the semi-sweet chocolate. Then, break the peppermint candy into small pieces and scatter them over the bark.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or until the bark is completely cooled and hardened.
Once the bark is cooled, use the edges of the wax paper to lift the bark out of the pan. Peel the wax paper off the bottom and break the bark into small pieces.
