Ingredients
  

12 oz dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher)

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

1/2 cup mint chocolate chips

1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies (optional, for garnish)

Sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Workspace: Line a baking sheet (approximately 9x13 inches) with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.

    Melt the Dark Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

      Add Peppermint Flavor: Stir in the peppermint extract until well combined. This will give your chocolate a lovely minty aroma that pairs perfectly with the chocolate.

        Spread the Dark Chocolate: Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly into a thin layer, making sure to cover the entire surface.

          Melt the White Chocolate: In another microwave-safe bowl, repeat the melting process with the white chocolate chips until smooth.

            Drizzle the White Chocolate: Using a spoon, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer in a random pattern. This creates a beautiful marbled effect.

              Add Mint Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the mint chocolate chips evenly over the top. If desired, add crushed peppermint candies for an extra crunch and festive look.

                Finish with Sea Salt: If you enjoy a sweet and savory combo, dust a pinch of sea salt over the bark for an added flavor dimension.

                  Cool and Set: Allow the chocolate bark to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until firm, or place it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to speed up the setting process.

                    Break into Pieces: Once set, using the parchment paper, lift the bark off the baking sheet. Break it into irregular pieces of your desired size.

                      Serve & Enjoy: Your Cool Mint Chocolate Chip Bark is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it at parties or give it as a sweet homemade gift.
