Ingredients

  • 3 cups dark chocolate wafers
  • 4 cups white chocolate wafers
  • 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
  • 12 cup peppermint candy (crushed)
  • nonstick cooking spray

Method

  • Heat oven to 250F degrees.
  • Take a 9 x 13 baking sheet, line with foil, then coat with non stick spray.
  • Pour dark chocolate wafers onto sheet and bake in the oven for five minutes or until slightly melted.
  • Using an offset spatula, smooth out chocolate into an even layer.
  • Refrigerate for at least a half an hour.
  • Crush your peppermint candies, if you had not already done so.
  • I state a generous half a cup as mine resembled a heaping cup of pre-crushed candies.
  • Here I used a pestle and mortar, but I've heard using coffee bean grinders work just as well.
  • Melt your white chocolate.
  • I don't have a double broiler, so I modify this by using a small (or medium) glass mixing bowl affixed on top of a pot filled with an inch of water, just slightly below boiling.
  • As long as the bowl doesn't touch the bottom of the pan, it'll work.
  • Keep stirring until the white chocolate is smooth in consistency.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the peppermint extract.
  • We let the white chocolate cool slightly to prevent it from melting the dark.
  • Working quickly, spread the peppermint white chocolate mixture on top of the dark chocolate.
  • Top with the crushed peppermints and refrigerate for another half hour.
  • Separate with a knife, serve and enjoy!
