Instructions
Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set it aside.
Place the dark chocolate in a medium bowl and microwave for 30 second increments, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Add the peppermint extract to the dark chocolate and stir until smooth.
Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread evenly using a spatula. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Place the white chocolate in a medium bowl and microwave for 30 second increments, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted.
Spread white chocolate over dark chocolate.
Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies over the white chocolate before it sets, pressing them lightly to adhere.
Once set, peel off the parchment paper. Break the bark into pieces using your hands or a knife.
Notes
Do not refrigerate for longer than 10 minutes between layers. You want the dark chocolate slightly soft to prevent the layers from separating.
