Equipment

  • Rolling Pin or Jar
  • Parchment Paper
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 12 ounces premium white chocolate baking chips real chocolate - I use Ghiradelli baking chips
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons canola oil divided
  • 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract divided (to taste - this will depend how pepperminty you want your bark)
  • 5 to 7 roughly chopped Oreos
  • 6 regular sized crushed candy canes

Instructions
 

  • Line baking sheet with parchment paper and have two microwave-safe bowls on stand-by.
  • Melt semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl until completely melted (15 to 30 second increments, stirring).
  • Once melted, stir in 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract and canola oil (divided).
  • Quickly pour melted chocolate onto baking pan and smooth layer with spatula.
  • Place baking pan in the freezer for about 3 to 5 minutes (You don't want it to be completely set). Or place in refrigerator for about 8 minutes.
  • Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl until completely melted (15 to 30 second increments, stirring).
  • Once melted, stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract and canola oil.
  • Next, pour melted white chocolate onto baking pan, and carefully smooth out layer.
  • Sprinkle crushed candy canes and Oreo cookies on top of white chocolate.
  • Refrigerate bark for about 30 minutes.
  • Once completely set, remove chocolate from pan and discard parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle any remaining crushed candy canes (and cookies if you would like) over layer of white chocolate.
  • Break/cut into pieces. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust your peppermint extract to your liking. Sometimes I like a hint, sometimes I like more. 
  • To crush candy canes, you can place candy canes in a plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin or a canned good. If you have a food processor, that's another option.
  • To enjoy Peppermint Bark for longer periods, store in the refrigerator.
    Make sure bark is room temperature before serving.
