Ingredients
  

For the bark
  • 12 oz white chocolate baking bars finely chopped
For the topping
  • 0.5 cup peppermint candy canes crushed

Equipment

  • 1 9x13-inch baking pan
  • 1 microwave

Method
 

Prepare the bark
  1. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang to lift out the bark.
  2. Place the chocolate in a dry microwave-safe bowl and heat at 50% power in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, for about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes total, until mostly melted; stir until smooth.
Top and finish the bark
  1. Spread the chocolate evenly in the prepared pan, sprinkle the crushed candy canes over it, and gently press them into the chocolate.
  2. Refrigerate for 30 to 45 minutes, until firm, then lift the bark from the pan and break it into pieces.

Notes

Keep the bowl completely dry so the chocolate stays smooth. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; freeze for up to 2 months. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free white chocolate and vegan candy canes.
