Ingredients

1 pound (16 ounces) chopped bittersweet chocolate

½ teaspoon (or more to taste) peppermint extract

1 pound (16 ounces) chopped white chocolate

¾ cup chopped candy canes

Directions

Line an 11 x 17-inch baking sheet with foil and set aside.

Melt bittersweet chocolate in the top of a double boiler over lightly boiling water, stirring constantly.

Stir in ¼ teaspoon of peppermint extract (or more to taste).

Spread chocolate evenly onto the prepared sheet, using an off-set spatula.

Chill until set, about 1 hour.

Melt white chocolate in the top of a double boiler over lightly boiling water, stirring constantly.

Stir in remaining ¼ teaspoon of peppermint extract, (or more to taste) then add candy canes and stir to combine.

Spread white chocolate mixture over chilled dark chocolate, spreading to the edge of the pan with an off-set spatula.

Chill until set, about four hours or overnight.

Refrigerate until just before serving, then break into pieces and serve or package as gifts.

Will keep in fridge for 5 - 6 weeks (or more...).

**Options**· The recipe could be changed slightly by using nuts or crushed cinnamon or butterscotch candies instead of peppermint to create different types and tastes but along with changing the topping, I would suggest a change of extract - vanilla, lemon, coconut, coffee...the possibilities and combinations are endless! Enjoy! :)

This is super good and easy! Several years ago, I saw this in a lovely little shop. It was packaged in clear bags, and tied with ribbon. Just a very few pieces sold for 12.95. Well, just talked myself into making a batch! :)
