Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Milk Chocolate Peppermint Bark Treats.
Step 1
To start your delicious chocolate bark adventure, grab a 12x18 inch jelly roll pan and line it with aluminum foil for easy removal later.
Step 2
Now, let’s melt some milk chocolate! In a microwave-safe bowl, add your milk chocolate chips and heat them in 30-second intervals.
Step 3
Remember to stir after each interval until the chocolate is silky smooth—this process usually takes between 1 to 5 minutes, depending on your microwave's power.
Step 4
Keep a close eye on it to prevent scorching; we want that perfect melt! Once your chocolate is ready, stir in a splash of peppermint extract for that festive flavor.
Step 5
Next, pour the melted milk chocolate into your prepared pan, spreading it out evenly to create a luscious base.
Step 6
Pop it in the refrigerator and let it chill for about 30 minutes until it’s set and ready for the next layer.
Step 7
While the milk chocolate is firming up, it’s time to melt the white chocolate.
Step 8
In another microwave-safe bowl, add your white chocolate chips and use the same 30-second interval method, stirring until it’s smooth and creamy.
Step 9
For a delightful crunch, mix in 1/4 cup of crushed candy canes—this will add a festive touch! Once your white chocolate is ready, gently spread it over the chilled milk chocolate layer, creating a beautiful contrast.
Step 10
Don’t forget to sprinkle the remaining crushed candy canes on top, adding a pop of color and flavor.
Step 11
Now, return the pan to the refrigerator and let it chill for about an hour, allowing the entire bark to set completely.
Step 12
When it’s ready, break it into bite-sized pieces and get ready to enjoy a sweet treat that’s perfect for sharing—or keeping all to yourself! This chocolate bark is not just a dessert; it’s a delightful way to celebrate the season with friends and family.
Step 13
Enjoy every delicious bite!.
