Description

Directions

• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In double broiler (or a large glass bowl over a shallow pot of boiling water), melt the chocolate over medium-high heat, stirring until completely melted.
• Once the chocolate is melted, stir in 1/2 cup of chopped peppermint candies and extract (if desired). Remove from the heat.
• Pour the chocolate over the parchment paper and spread the chocolate over a thin layer. Sprinkle the remaining chopped peppermint candies and almond slivers over the top of the chocolate.
• Refrigerate the cookie sheet (and freshly poured chocolate) for at least 30 minutes, until the chocolate is hard.
• Remove the chocolate from the fridge and break apart with your hands. The bark can be stored in an air-tight container on the counter (no need for refrigeration).
