Ingredients in Easy 4-Ingredient Peppermint Bark

Chocolate almond bark. Milk or dark chocolate almond bark works best in this recipe.

Vanilla almond bark. Along with chocolate almond bark, vanilla almond bark forms the foundation of this candy recipe.

Peppermint extract. Peppermint extract provides the minty flavor in your bark.

Peppermint candy canes. Crush up peppermint candy canes and any other toppings you like. I use a hammer to best crush the candy canes. Pro tip: put the candy canes in two ziptop sandwich bags and close the top before crushing.

How to Make the Best Easy 4-Ingredient Peppermint Bark

STEP 1: Cut parchment paper to overhang a 9x13 inch baking sheet by about 2 inches on each side.

STEP 2: Place the milk chocolate almond bark or chocolate chips in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl and heat for one minute. Stir and put back in the microwave for another 20 seconds, stirring after each 20-second interval until completely melted. When it’s melted, add ½ teaspoon peppermint extract, and mix until smooth.

STEP 3: Pour the melted chocolate into the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.

STEP 4: Repeat steps above for the white chocolate almond bark. As soon as the white chocolate almond bark is melted, add the remaining ½ teaspoon peppermint extract and mix thoroughly.

STEP 5: Spread the melted white chocolate almond bark over the melted chocolate as evenly as possible. Immediately spread the crushed candy canes evenly on top of the melted white chocolate.

Store in the refrigerator for at least two hours, until chocolate is set. Use the parchment paper overhang to remove the bark from the baking dish.
