Peppermint Bark is a holiday tradition, and makes a wonderful and heartfelt gift. Layered with semisweet chocolate and white chocolate, this Peppermint Bark is totally delicious and addicting and is as good as or better than the famous Williams Sonoma Peppermint Bark. I like to stir the powdery candy cane crumbs into the white chocolate layer and reserve the larger pieces to sprinkle on top. One of the secrets to this candy is to use the best quality semisweet and white chocolates you can find; don’t use candy melts as they don’t have the same quality as real chocolate. Also use peppermint oil rather than peppermint extract for exceptional flavor. Since candy oils are very concentrated it only takes a few drops. If you prefer to use peppermint extract use about ½ teaspoon.
