Description
This Salted Peppermint Bark is a festive, no-fuss holiday treat made with creamy chocolate, crunchy peppermint, and a hint of sea salt. Perfect for gifting, snacking, and adding a touch of holiday magic to your dessert table.
Ingredients
24 ounces light cocoa candy melts (or chocolate chips)
20 ounces white almond bark (or white chocolate chips or melting wafers)
1 teaspoon peppermint extract (oil-based)
3 ounces crushed peppermint
1½ teaspoons sea salt flakes
Parchment or wax paper
Instructions
Line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper.
Melt the cocoa candy melts (or chocolate chips) in a double boiler or microwave, stirring continuously until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate onto the cookie sheet and spread evenly. Let it partially set for a few minutes.
Melt the white almond bark in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
Stir in the peppermint extract, then spread the white layer over the partially set chocolate.
Sprinkle crushed peppermint and sea salt flakes over the top.
Allow to fully set at room temperature or in the fridge. Break or cut into pieces to serve.
Notes
Use oil-based peppermint extract to prevent seizing.
If the layers separate, the bottom layer may not have partially set—give it a few extra minutes next time.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2–3 weeks.
