Ingredients
1.5 lbs high-quality white chocolate bars
1 tsp pure peppermint extract
10 large candy canes, crushed
1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Chop the white chocolate bars into uniform pieces for even melting.
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring frequently.
Stir the peppermint extract and coconut oil into the melted chocolate until smooth.
Spread the white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet using an offset spatula to achieve an even thickness.
Sprinkle the crushed candy canes generously over the surface while the chocolate is still tacky.
Press the candy pieces gently into the chocolate to ensure they adhere.
Refrigerate the bark for at least two hours or until completely firm.
Break the bark into shards for serving.
Notes
Use premium white chocolate bars that list cocoa butter as an ingredient for the best texture. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain the perfect snap.
