Salted Peppermint Bark is an elevated version of peppermint bark, a traditional Christmas candy. It’s a blend of sweet and salty with a cool refreshing flavor topped with peppermint and sea salt flakes for added crunch.

Ingredients

For the Dark Chocolate Layer:

  • 24 ounces light cocoa candy melts or chocolate chips

For the White Chocolate Layer:

  • 20 ounces white almond bark or chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract, oil-based
  • 3 ounces crushed peppermint
  • 1½ teaspoon sea salt flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dark Chocolate Layer: Line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper. Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, stirring continuously until smooth. Pour onto the prepared sheet and spread evenly. Let it partially set at room temperature.
  2. Prepare the White Chocolate Layer: Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, stirring in the peppermint extract. Spread this over the partially set dark chocolate layer.
  3. Add Toppings: Sprinkle crushed peppermint and sea salt flakes over the white chocolate layer.
  4. Allow to Set: Let the bark set completely, then cut into pieces.

Notes

  • You can use sea salt from a grinder or sea salt flakes for the topping.
  • Use food-safe peppermint oil to avoid seizing the chocolate.
  • Feel free to use your preferred brand of chocolate for this recipe.
  • If crushing peppermint, place in a Ziplock bag and use a rolling pin.
  • Store the bark in a cool, airtight container for several weeks.
