Ingredients
  

12 oz dark chocolate chips (60-70% cacao)

1 cup white chocolate chips

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (for topping)

1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies (for topping)

Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions
 

Melt the Dark Chocolate:

    In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips using the double boiler method. Simply place this bowl over a pot of simmering water and stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave by heating it in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until fully melted.

      Prepare the Baking Sheet:

        Line a baking sheet (approximately 11x17 inches) with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Ensure there is some overhang at the edges to facilitate easy removal of the bark later.

          Spread the Dark Chocolate:

            Carefully pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread the chocolate evenly to form a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set slightly but not harden completely.

              Melt the White Chocolate:

                In another heatproof bowl, repeat the melting process with the white chocolate chips. Once melted and smooth, stir in the peppermint extract, ensuring an even distribution of the refreshing minty flavor.

                  Swirl the White Chocolate:

                    After removing the dark chocolate layer from the refrigerator, drizzle the freshly melted white chocolate over the dark layer. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the two chocolates together, creating a beautiful marbled effect.

                      Add the Toppings:

                        Immediately sprinkle the mini chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candies over the top of the bark while the chocolate is still soft. If you enjoy a sweet and salty combination, you can also sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the toppings.

                          Set the Bark:

                            Place the baking sheet back in the refrigerator for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the bark is fully set and firm to the touch.

                              Break into Pieces:

                                Once the bark is set, remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator. Gently pull on the parchment paper overhang to lift the bark from the sheet. Break or cut it into pieces of your desired size.

                                  Store and Enjoy:

                                    Store the Minty Fresh Chocolate Bliss Bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks (if it lasts that long!). Enjoy this delightful treat as a refreshing snack or a dessert to impress.
