Equipment

  • quarter sheet pan see notes

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups vanilla melts see notes
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate melts see notes
  • 1 teaspoons peppermint extract divided
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt flakes divided, see notes
  • 2-4 tablespoons crushed candy canes or peppermints

Instructions

  • Line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Melt the chocolate melts in the microwave or on the stove.
  • Once smooth, remove from heat and stir in ½ teaspoon of extract.
  • Spread the melted chocolate on the lined pan. It does not necessarily need to go all the way to the edges.
  • Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sea salt, or to taste.
  • Let set for about 10 minutes
  • While the chocolate layer is setting, melt the vanilla melts in the microwave or on the stove.
  • Once smooth, remove from heat and stir in ½ teaspoon of extract.
  • Spread overtop of the set chocolate layer. There may be slight blending between the layers.
  • Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sea salt, or to taste, and cover with crushed peppermint.
  • Let set in fridge 15-20 minutes.
  • Bring to room temperature, then cut or break into pieces and enjoy!

Notes

A quarter sheet pan is smaller than a standard baking sheet.  A standard baking sheet is a half sheet pan. This can be used instead, just don't spread the chocolate onto the whole surface.
If replacing the candy melts with chocolate chips, use 1 ¼ cups of each flavor chips and add in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to each type of chips when melting.
Do not substitute table salt for the sea salt flakes. This will result in over-salted bark.
