A festive and delightful treat combining creamy white chocolate and refreshing peppermint.
Crush the peppermint candies into small pieces using a rolling pin or food processor.
Place the candies in a sealed plastic bag to avoid mess while crushing.
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring in between.
Be cautious not to overheat the chocolate to prevent it from seizing.
Stir the crushed peppermint candies into the melted white chocolate until evenly distributed.
Reserve a small amount of crushed candies for sprinkling on top for decoration.
Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Use a spatula to smooth out the surface for an even layer.
Sprinkle the reserved crushed peppermint candies on top for decoration.
Gently press the candies into the chocolate to ensure they stick.
Allow the bark to cool and set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Ensure the bark is fully set before breaking it into pieces to avoid crumbling.
Break the bark into desired-sized pieces and store in an airtight container.
Use your hands or a knife to break the bark into even pieces for a neat presentation.
