This easy-to-make Easy Peppermint Candy Cane Bark recipe is a sweet and refreshing treat that only takes minutes to prepare. It’s perfect as a holiday stocking stuffer, great to give as a gift in jars, and make for yourself too!
Ingredients
- 24 ounces of sweetened dark chocolate morsels, (can substitute semi-sweet or milk chocolate morsels)
- 6 ounces (12 candy canes, 170 grams) crushed peppermint candy canes
- 1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract, more if desired but keep in mind a little goes a long way *optional

Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat chocolate morsels in a microwave-safe bowl at 30-second intervals until melted, stirring in between. Stir in peppermint extract to the melted chocolate.
- Spread melted chocolate into a 13" x 9" rectangle. Sprinkle crushed candy canes and nonpareils or sprinkles over the top. (Note: You can spread 1/2 the chocolate and sprinkle with half the toppings, then spread the remaining chocolate and the remaining toppings as I did in the photos as well) Allow cooling completely. You can speed up the process by refrigerating for 10 minutes. Cut into desired size pieces. Package for gifts or serve and enjoy!
Notes
an offset spatula or baking spatula helps with spreading the melted chocolate.
