Peppermint and chocolate together is one of the most classic combinations you can enjoy during the festive season! Create a delicious slab of bark with them and you have yourself a very merry little Christmas!

This bark has 3 layers of chocolate, 2 layers of white and 1 middle layer of milk chocolate. Both have been infused with peppermint. I chose to use peppermint essential oil which is quite potent, so if you opt for peppermint extract (such as the ones you pick up for your supermarket), you’re welcome to add in a few more drops to bring out that glorious peppermint flavour.

The crushed candy canes on top are also completely optional, but don’t be put off by them because of their hard texture, they really don’t break your teeth on top of this bark 😉

I made this quite a weeks ago now and my family devoured them! These bark slices are certainly rich and indulgent, so I recommend slicing them up into smaller squares so you won’t overdo it and regret it later, like I did, hehe!

Ok so what are we waiting for?! Let get into our favourite place, our kitchens, and whip this AMAZING peppermint chocolate bark up!

  4. Pour all of the melted milk chocolate over the white chocolate.
  5. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes or until milk chocolate just starts to firm up, soft to the touch, not runny and not completely hardened.
