Servings: 20 servings

- 12 ounces milk chocolate chips 2 cups or 340.2 grams
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract see note
- 16 ounces white chocolate chips 2 2/3 cup or 453.6 grams
- 1/4 cup crushed candy canes 26 grams or 11 mini candy canes
Instructions
- Line a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Start by cooking for 1 minute at half power. Then cook in 30-second intervals, stirring well in between (you will likely only need to do this once). Be careful not to overcook. A lot of the melting will happen by stirring.12 ounces milk chocolate chips
- Mix in the peppermint extract and pour it into the baking dish. Spread the chocolate to the edges of the baking dish using an offset spatula. Cool the chocolate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Refrigerating for longer than that can lead to the chocolate layers separating at the end.1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave. Carefully spread it over the chocolate layer with a clean offset spatula. Then quickly add the crushed candy cane pieces. Let the bark completely set and cool.16 ounces white chocolate chips, 1/4 cup crushed candy canes

Notes
Peppermint extract and mint extract are not the same. While both work in this recipe, keep in mind that peppermint extract is the taste of candy canes.
