Ingredients
  

12 oz dark chocolate chips (preferably 60-70% cocoa)

12 oz white chocolate chips

1-2 teaspoons peppermint extract (adjust to taste)

1 cup mint chocolate chips (for topping)

1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies (optional, for added crunch)

Sea salt flakes (optional, for a touch of flavor contrast)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet approximately 12x16 inches with parchment paper, ensuring the paper hangs over the edges. This will make it easy to lift the finished bark out later.

    Melt the Dark Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes total. Once melted, stir in 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract, tasting and adjusting the amount to your preference.

      Spread the Dark Chocolate: Carefully pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

        Melt the White Chocolate: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips. As with the dark chocolate, heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Once melted, mix in the remaining peppermint extract to enhance the minty flavor.

          Layer the White Chocolate: After the dark chocolate has set, remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator. Pour the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer, using the spatula to gently spread it out evenly until it completely covers the dark layer.

            Add Toppings: While the white chocolate is still warm and not yet fully set, generously sprinkle the mint chocolate chips and the crushed peppermint candies on top. For a final touch, lightly sprinkle sea salt flakes over the surface to create a delightful contrast with the sweetness.

              Chill to Set: Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator and allow the bark to chill for 30-45 minutes or until the chocolate is completely firm.

                Cut and Serve: Once the bark is fully set, lift it out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Break or cut into pieces of your preferred size and serve. Indulge in the delightful flavors of your Cool Mint Chocolate Chip Bark!
