You’ve probably seen Layered Peppermint Crunch Bark packages and sold in the store. This is the homemade version, and it’s so much better! Make it, package it up and gift it to friends and neighbors for the holidays. It’s such a delicious treat to munch on, and it’s easy to make!
Ingredients needed:
white chocolate bittersweet chocolate candy canes whipping cream peppermint extract
How to make Layered Peppermint Crunch Bark:
You will lay out some foil on a baking sheet and mark a 9×12-inch rectangle on the foil. White chocolate is melted in a pan. Some of the white chocolate is then spread out onto the foil within the borders of the marked rectangle.
Note about white chocolate:
Don’t be tempted to buy white chocolate chips. They’ll seize when you try to melt them. Use a chunk of white chocolate, chop it up and melt it.
Crushed candy canes are sprinkled on top and then it’s chilled until set. Bittersweet chocolate melted and mixed with cream and peppermint extract is spread onto the cooled white chocolate. Then it’s chilled until this layer is set.
Finally, you’ll re-warm the white chocolate and spread it onto the top. The remaining crushed candy canes are sprinkled on top. You’ll chill this layer until firm and then cut into pieces.
Isn’t it beautiful? I love the layers. The combination of white chocolate with the mint-flavored bittersweet chocolate and the crunch of candy canes is all so good together.
Another big bonus is that it looks so pretty too!
