Peppermint Bark Ingredients
To make one tray of peppermint bark, you’ll need
200g dark chocolate
200g milk chocolate
100g white chocolate
12 candy canes
How to Make Peppermint Bark
First melt about 200g dark chocolate in a bain Marie (a bowl over a saucepan of hot water). Be careful that the hot water doesn’t touch the bowl, or the chocolate goes all weird and you’ll have to start again!)
Next, spread it evenly into a lined tin with a lip, and let it cool. I put it out in our conservatory, but you could put it in the fridge.
Next melt about 200g milk chocolate in the same way and spread it on top of the dark chocolate.
While the second layer of chocolate is cooling, put a dozen peppermint candy canes into a plastic bag and smash them up with a wooden spoon.
Then melt some white chocolate, 100g should be enough, but the more the merrier. Spread that over the milk chocolate, and before it sets, sprinkle the peppermint pieces all over it. Cool thoroughly in the fridge, and you have peppermint bark.
Break up your peppermint bark, wrap and and give away (or scoff)!
