Ingredients
  

12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

12 ounces white chocolate chips

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

1 cup (approximately 4 ounces) crushed peppermint candies

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

A pinch of sea salt (optional)

Parchment paper (for lining the baking sheet)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Sheet: Begin by lining a baking sheet (approximately 9x13 inches) with parchment paper, ensuring there is some overhang on the sides to facilitate easy removal of the bark later.

    Melt the Semi-Sweet Chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Make sure to monitor closely to avoid overheating.

      Spread the First Layer: Once melted, pour the semi-sweet chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, creating a flat and smooth layer. Refrigerate the sheet for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm to the touch.

        Melt the White Chocolate: While the semi-sweet chocolate layer is cooling, place the white chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl. Follow the same microwaving method, stirring intermittently, until the white chocolate is fully melted and creamy.

          Infuse with Peppermint: Stir the peppermint extract into the melted white chocolate, mixing until the extract is fully incorporated.

            Layer the White Chocolate: Remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator. Carefully pour the melted white chocolate over the now-set semi-sweet chocolate layer. Use a spatula to evenly spread it out.

              Add Peppermint Crunch: Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies and mini chocolate chips uniformly over the top of the white chocolate layer. For an added touch, gently press them down with your fingers to ensure they stick.

                Create a Swirl (Optional): If desired, use a skewer or a small knife to lightly swirl the chocolate layers together, creating a visually appealing marbled effect.

                  Chill to Set: Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate bark is completely set and firm.

                    Cut and Serve: Once the bark has hardened, carefully lift it out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Transfer it to a cutting board and slice it into desired pieces with a sharp knife.

                      Store: Keep the mint chocolate chip bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. For an extra crunchy texture, store it in the refrigerator.
