Grab your chocolate 
your peppermint 
and your coconut oil 
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups Chocolate chips milk, semi-sweet, or dark
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 1 1/2 cups White chocolate chips or candy melts
- 4 teaspoons Peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup Crushed Peppermint candy or candy canes
Instructions:
- Place waxed paper in a 13×9 baking dish. Leave enough waxed paper along edges to lift peppermint bark from baking dish later.
- Add chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon coconut oil to a medium glass bowl. Heat in microwave for about 1 minute. If not melted, heat in 30 second increments until it is melted. (Be careful to not over heat and BURN your chocolate).
- Remove from microwave and stir until smooth. Add 2 teaspoons peppermint extract to melted milk chocolate and stir until well-combined.
- Pour chocolate into the prepared baking dish and place in the freezer until hardened, approximately 3 minutes.
- Repeat the same process with the white chocolate. Remove baking dish from freezer and spread white chocolate over frozen chocolate.
- Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies over white chocolate and return to the freezer until firm, approximately 3 minutes.
- Remove from freezer and pull waxed paper from baking dish.
- Break peppermint bark into pieces. Place on a dish, in a tin, or in bags for gift giving.
