Candy Cane Chocolate Bark
This candy cane chocolate bark makes a cute holiday gift! There are only 3 ingredients, making it your quickest and simplest holiday recipe yet!
- Prep Time: 30 minutes
- Cook Time: 1 hour
- Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
- Yield: 6 servings 1x
- Category: Candy
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 1 lb. white chocolate
- 6 oz milk chocolate
- 1/4 cup crushed candy canes (from the bulk barn)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (it’s best to use a baking sheet with sides).
- Melt white and milk chocolate in separate bowls.
- Working quickly, pour white chocolate on top of your prepared baking sheet. Using an offset spatula, spread chocolate into a thin layer. Pour drops of milk chocolate on top of the white chocolate and using a knife, swirl the chocolates together to create a marble affect. Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top.
- Lightly bang the cookie sheet on the counter to pop any air bubbles in the chocolate.
- Place the cookie sheet in the fridge for an hour to harden chocolate. Once chocolate is hard, break pieces off in random sections. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for 3 weeks.
Notes
When buying chocolate be careful not to buy candy melts (candy melts are not chocolate). A good quality chocolate makes a big difference. I use Lindt Chocolate.
When working with chocolate, you want to work quickly so your chocolate doesn’t harden as you are trying to blend the white and milk chocolate together. Also you want your crushed candy canes to stick and dry into the chocolate.
To make as a gift: Place candy cane bark in cellophane bags, tie with ribbon and a piece of garland (you could also use pine cones). Add a gift tag and maybe a gift card. Store in the fridge until ready to gift!
