Ingredients
- 3 (4 ounce) bars Ghirardelli® 60% Cacao Baking Bars, chopped
- 1 (10 ounce) package Ghirardelli® Holiday Baking Peppermint Chunks
- 2 ounces Ghirardelli® White Chocolate Baking Bar
Directions
- 1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- 2. Place 2 chopped chocolate bars in the top pan of a double boiler over hot but not boiling water. (You may also use a glass or metal mixing bowl on top of a saucepan half filled with water.) Allow the chocolate to melt, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let stand to cool for 15 minutes.
- 3. Stir remaining 1 bar of chopped chocolate into the melted chocolate. Stir until melted and smooth.
- 4. Stir in 3/4 cup peppermint chunks. Pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with the remaining peppermint chunks.
- 5. In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave the white chocolate on medium power (50 percent) in 30 second intervals, stirring between intervals until melted.
- 6. Remove and stir. If chocolate is not melted, return it to the microwave and repeat the heating step, stirring every 30 seconds to avoid scorching.
- 7. Spoon white chocolate mixture into a large self-sealing plastic bag. Snip off one corner; drizzle chocolate over bark.
- 8. Chill for 30 minutes or until firm. Use parchment to lift candy; break into pieces. Store between sheets of waxed paper in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
