Double-Chocolate Peppermint Bark


If you’ve waited until the last minute and still haven’t conjured up any treats for the holidays, this is a real quick one to throw together.

I have loved peppermint bark since I tasted it at Williams-Sonoma many years ago.  However, when I found out how easy it is to make, I have been making it homemade ever since.

I don’t have much time to chat as I am so busy right now, so here’s the recipe….enjoy.  I have also been hiding this from my husband.  If he happens to check my blog, the jig is up, he will be on the prowl.


Line a 13 x 9 inch pan with foil.  Set aside.

In top of a double-boiler or in microwave (I used the microwave), melt dark chocolate chips.  Spread into prepared pan.  Refrigerate until JUST ABOUT set, about 15-20 minutes.  The just about part is important as this will help meld your chocolate together.

In top of a double boiler or in  microwave, melt white chocolate chips.  Stir in peppermint extract.  Spread on top of dark chocolate.  Sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies.


Refrigerate until set, about an hour.  Remove from pan and break into pieces.  Store at room temperature.


You won’t stop at just one.

  10. Beautiful bark!!

    Did you post this year about gift ideas? If so, I missed it. Last year you posted about putting together gifts from items purchased at Marshall’s, TJMaxx, etc… It was fantastic!

  36. I made these last year to give as gifts, but the chocolate layers separated. But I couldn’t figure out why. Now I know! Don’t let it set up all the way! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  37. This is wonderful!! I made it on Wednesday and it’s perfect. Very little separated. I only let the dark chocolate set up for about 10 minutes before adding the white. It worked perfectly!
