Peppermint Mocha Bark
This Peppermint Mocha Bark combines two beloved flavors: rich chocolate and refreshing peppermint. Easy, quick, and surprisingly decadent.
Ingredients
For the chocolate layers:
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil for smoothness
For the topping:
- 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies about 10-15 peppermint candies
Instructions
- Melt the Dark Chocolate:
- In a double boiler or microwave, melt the dark chocolate with a tablespoon of coconut oil until smooth.
- Prepare the Base:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the melted dark chocolate evenly on the sheet.
- Chill:
- Place the baking sheet in the fridge and chill the dark chocolate layer for 30 minutes.
- Melt the White Chocolate:
- Melt the white chocolate using the same method as the dark chocolate. Stir until smooth.
- Add the White Chocolate Layer:
- Spread the melted white chocolate evenly over the chilled dark chocolate layer.
- Add Peppermint:
- Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies on top before the white chocolate sets.
- Freeze:
- Place the bark back into the fridge for about 30 minutes until set.
- Break into Pieces:
- Once chilled, break the bark into irregular pieces. Serve and impress your friends (and probably yourself).

Additional Notes/Tips
- Be careful with the peppermint: If you don’t want it to overwhelm the bark, use just a little peppermint extract instead of candy.
- For extra flair: Drizzle some extra chocolate over the top after it's set to add layers.
- Want it creamier? Add a little heavy cream to the melted dark chocolate for a smoother texture.
