Ingredients
- 12 ounces white chocolate chopped or chips
- 16 ounces semi sweet or dark chocolate chopped or chips
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract divided
- 10 mini candy canes crushed, about 2-3 tablespoons worth
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the white chocolate and the semi-sweet chocolate into two separate glass bowls. Add ¼ teaspoon of peppermint extract to each bowl.
- Place the dark chocolate in the microwave and heat 90 seconds, as 50% power, do NOT heat at full power. Stir and heat an additional 30 seconds at 50% power. Stir again until smooth. Pour the chocolate onto the parchment lined baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it across the paper.
- Repeat the melting process with the white chocolate. Spoon the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate. Use a knife or the edge of the spatula to lightly swirl the chocolates together.
