Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the semi-sweet chocolate until completely smooth. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a thin, even layer.
  3. Let the dark chocolate layer set at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, until it's firm to the touch but not fully hardened.
  4. While the first layer sets, melt the white chocolate until smooth. Stir in the peppermint extract.
  5. Pour the peppermint white chocolate over the set dark chocolate layer and spread evenly.
  6. Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the top, gently pressing them into the white chocolate.
  7. Allow the bark to set completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Once fully hardened, break it into pieces. Enjoy!

Notes

Choosing Chocolate: For best results, use high-quality chocolate bars or wafers rather than chocolate chips.
Layering Tip: Ensure the dark chocolate layer is just set (not fully hard) before adding the white chocolate layer to help them stick together.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
