"You can make a batch of peppermint bark in 10 minutes flat. It's the easiest holiday treat that doubles as a perfect homemade holiday gift for family, friends, neighbors or co-workers. With bark this easy and delicious, the whole neighborhood will be begging for a piece." -Steve Southern, Executive Chef

INSTRUCTIONS

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill the bottom of a large pot with 3” water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, then place a large heatproof bowl on top. Add semi-sweet chocolate and stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted. Stir in extract. Pour into the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer with an offset spatula. Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.

Over the same pot of barely simmering water, place another large heatproof bowl. Add white chocolate and stir until melted. Pour over set semi-sweet chocolate then top immediately with candy canes. Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.
