Instructions

  1. Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt 12 oz white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth and glossy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 tsp peppermint extract and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  3. Step 3: Pour melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness using an offset spatula.
  4. Step 4: Immediately sprinkle 1/2 cup crushed candy canes evenly over the melted chocolate, pressing gently to adhere. Optionally, sprinkle 1/4 tsp sea salt flakes for contrast.
  5. Step 5: Refrigerate the bark for at least 1 hour until fully set, then break into irregular pieces to serve.
