Instructions

  1. Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Place 12 oz white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Step 2: Microwave the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between intervals, until melted and smooth, about 1.5 to 2 minutes total.
  3. Step 3: Stir 1/2 tsp peppermint extract into the melted white chocolate until fully combined.
  4. Step 4: Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness using an offset spatula.
  5. Step 5: Immediately sprinkle 1/2 cup crushed candy canes, 1/4 cup slivered almonds, and 1/4 tsp sea salt flakes evenly over the melted chocolate while still warm.
  6. Step 6: Refrigerate the bark for 30 minutes until firm. Once set, break into irregular pieces and serve or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
