Ingredients
11.5
ounce
bag milk chocolate chips
(or semi-sweet chocolate chips)
1
teaspoon
vanilla extract
16
ounce
package vanilla almond bark
1
teaspoon
peppermint extract
¼
cup
crushed peppermint candy
holiday sprinkles
parchment paper or nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a small pan, melt milk chocolate chips over low heat until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract. You can also melt it in a microwaveable safe bowl.
Pour melted milk chocolate into prepared pan. Gently shake and tilt the pan until you have a single sheet of chocolate. Set aside.
Melt vanilla almond bark the same way as you did the milk chocolate. Stir in peppermint extract then pour evenly on top of milk chocolate layer.
Spread gently with a spatula, making sure not to disturb the bottom layer of milk chocolate.
Crush peppermints or candy canes until you have ¼ cup crushed and sprinkle over white chocolate. Follow with sprinkles.
Let sit for 1 hour then lift out parchment paper from the baking dish.
Break or cut into uneven shapes then enjoy! Store in a covered container.
Notes
I tend to use milk chocolate but you could use semi-sweet or dark chocolate.
Also, you can make this into "Mint Bark" by using Mint Extract instead of Peppermint Extract.
