Let&#8217;s break them down:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Semi-Sweet Chocolate:&nbsp;<\/strong>This will be the bottom layer of your peppermint bark. I really love Baker&#8217;s or Ghirardelli chocolate bars!<\/li>\n<li><strong>White Chocolate:<\/strong> For the top layer of your homemade bark.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oil:<\/strong> I highly recommend using a little oil if you&#8217;re planning to use some peppermint extract. The oil helps to prevent your chocolate from seizing when you heat it up and when you add the extract. Canola, vegetable, or melted coconut oil all work great here!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peppermint Extract:<\/strong> Because you can&#8217;t have peppermint bark without peppermint extract, right? You can feel free to leave it out, but if you love the flavor, I highly recommend using it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crushed Candy Canes:<\/strong> I typically use 4 crushed candy canes for this recipe. You can crush the candy canes as small or large as you like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19916 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Peppermint-Bark-4.jpg?resize=745%2C1118&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A layer of semi-sweet chocolate spread onto a piece of parchment paper.\" width=\"745\" height=\"1118\" data-pin-description=\"This easy Peppermint Bark recipe is made with layers of semi-sweet chocolate, white chocolate, and packed with peppermint flavor.

I prefer to give the chocolate a rough chop, then place it in a microwave-safe bowl, add half of the oil, and microwave it in 20-30 second increments. I suggest stopping the microwave after each increment and stirring the chocolate to ensure that it melts evenly and doesn&#8217;t burn.<\/p>\n<p>Then, you&#8217;ll stir in a little peppermint extract and spread the chocolate into one even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once the chocolate is ready, place it in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to set up before you add the second layer.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19918 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Peppermint-Bark-5.jpg?resize=745%2C1118&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A finished batch of peppermint bark on top of a metal baking pan lined with parchment paper. \" width=\"745\" height=\"1118\" data-pin-description=\"This easy Peppermint Bark recipe is made with layers of semi-sweet chocolate, white chocolate, and packed with peppermint flavor.

Once it&#8217;s melted, stir in the last of the peppermint extract and set it aside to cool for 3-4 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Then, remove the baking sheet with the first layer of chocolate from the refrigerator and pour the white chocolate on top. It&#8217;s best to work quickly here so that the layers of chocolate don&#8217;t melt into each other. If this happens, don&#8217;t worry, the peppermint bark will still taste just fine!<\/p>\n<p>Once the white chocolate is spread on top, you&#8217;ll sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top. Then place it in the refrigerator to chill for about 45 minutes until it&#8217;s nice and firm.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19920 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Peppermint-Bark-6.jpg?resize=745%2C1118&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A pan filled with pieces of peppermint bark topped with crushed candy canes. \" width=\"745\" height=\"1118\" data-pin-description=\"This easy Peppermint Bark recipe is made with layers of semi-sweet chocolate, white chocolate, and packed with peppermint flavor.
