Ingredients

Scale

12 ounces high-quality milk chocolate chips or bars
12 ounces high-quality white chocolate with cocoa butter
1 teaspoon peppermint extract, divided
6 ounces candy canes, crushed into small pieces

Instructions

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt the milk chocolate in a double boiler over low heat until smooth.
Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of the peppermint extract into the melted milk chocolate.
Pour the milk chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer using an offset spatula.
Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes until firm.
Melt the white chocolate in a clean double boiler, ensuring no water contact.
Stir the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract into the white chocolate.
Spread the white chocolate evenly over the chilled milk chocolate layer.
Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the top, pressing gently to adhere.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until completely set before breaking into pieces.

Notes

Ensure all bowls and spatulas are completely dry before melting chocolate to prevent seizing. Use high-quality couverture chocolate for the best texture. Store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to two weeks.
