If you have Christmas Candy Canes, use a few of them to make this popular treat. It is super easy to make. Break the Candy Canes into small pieces and scatter them over melted Chocolate. I used Dark Chocolate and White Chocolate. It can be a great Christmas gift.

Steps

10 minutes plus cooling time

1

Line the base and sides of 34cm x 20cm Brownie Pan (OR similar size tray) with baking paper.
2

Place Candy Canes in a tough plastic bag, and gently bash with a mallet OR something hard to break into small pieces. *DO NOT break them too fine. The Candy Cane pieces should give crunchy texture.
3

Melt Dark Chocolate first. If you use a block, break into small pieces, place in a heat-proof bowl. Boil water in a saucepan, lower the heat to simmer, place the bowl over the simmering water, and leave for several minutes, stirring occasionally, until completely melt. Add Peppermint Extract and mix well.
4

Spread the melted Dark Chocolate in the prepared pan evenly, and place in the fridge until hardens. *Note: The Chocolate should be about 3mm thick.
5

Clean the bowl, and melt White Chocolate in the same way. (*Note: I didn’t add Peppermint Extract to White Chocolate.) Spread the melted White Chocolate over the hardened Dark Chocolate evenly.
6

Scatter the Candy Cane pieces evenly over the still soft White Chocolate. Leave it in the fridge until completely hardens.
7

Break the hardened Peppermint Chocolate Bark into the size that is easy to eat. *Note: You may wish to cut it into squares. Once it is completely hardened, it would be too difficult to cut. I recommend to break it.
