Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Spread 1/3 of the peppermint candy over a 9x13-inch baking pan lined with wax paper.
- Melt the milk chocolate in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, just until melted. Pour the melted chocolate over peppermint candy in the prepared pan. Sprinkle another 1/3 of the candy on top of the milk chocolate. Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes.
- Melt the white chocolate in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Stir in the oil-based peppermint flavoring. Pour the white chocolate over the milk chocolate, then spread the remaining 1/3 peppermint candy on top.
- Refrigerate until the white chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes. Cut or break into pieces to serve.

Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- Substitute almonds for candy and substitute almond extract for peppermint extract to make almond bark.
- An easy way to break the bark once hardened is to cover the bark and use a hammer to break it into pieces.
- Editor's Note:
- Do not add water-based or alcohol-based flavorings to melted chocolate, or the chocolate could seize up and become clumpy and hard.

We used alcohol-based peppermint extract and it turned out fine (the chocolate didn't seize). We melted the chocolate on the stove at a very low heat (warm). It took about ten minutes, but it ...

Very easy to make, especially if you use chocolate chips for easier melting. I felt like the peppermint oil and three layers of candy cane bits was a little excessive, so I used the peppermint o...

I am not sure why, but my layers did not bond together. I will also pulverize some of the candies into a dust for the next batch to give more of a variety of textures. Overall a great recipe and...
