- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
- Place semi sweet chocolate chips in a saucepan and melt over LOW heat. Or if you prefer microwave, heat 30 seconds, stir, then continue heating in 15-second intervals (stir between each interval) until melted and smooth.
- Once melted, pour over the parchment paper and quickly spread it with a butter knife. Refrigerate for ten minutes or so until the chocolate is firm.
- Once the chocolate layer is firm, remove from refrigerator and set aside.
- Place white chocolate, peppermint extract, and oil into a glass bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then keep heating at 15 second intervals (stirring between each) until melted and smooth.
- Quickly pour white chocolate over dark, then spread it with a spatula. Immediately sprinkle crushed candy over the bark. Press it into the white chocolate gently. Refrigerate 20 minutes. Remove from refrigerator and leave it in a cool place to harden completely. After 24 hours, break it into pieces and store.
- Enjoy!
