Description

If you love Andes mints, you'll love this mint chocolate bark. It's easy to make and would be a wonderful gift to give during the holidays.

Ingredients

• 7 oz. white chocolate, coarsely chopped (like Baker's White Chocolate)
• 1 oz. (1/4 c.) green candy melts*
• 1/4 t. canola or vegetable oil
• 1/2 t. peppermint extract (NOT mint extract)
• 8 oz. good quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate, coarsely chopped** (like Ghirardelli)
• 1/3 c. chopped Andes mints, optional

Steps

1. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
2. Melt the white chocolate and green candy melts together using a double boiler or a microwave. If using a microwave, stir the chocolate every 20 seconds to help avoid seizing. Once melted and smooth, stir in oil and peppermint extract; set aside.
3. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in the same manner used to melt the chocolate. Pour onto prepared baking sheet; spread out into a large rectangle. It won't reach the rimmed sides. Drizzle the white chocolate mixture on top in lines. Use a knife or a toothpick to swirl the layers together. Sprinkle the top of the bark with Andes mints, if using.
