  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

– 12 ounces of dark chocolate, chopped
– 12 ounces of white chocolate, chopped
– 1 cup of crushed peppermint candies (or candy canes)
– 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract
– 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (for the dark chocolate)
– 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (for the white chocolate)


Instructions

Creating Peppermint Crunch can be simple by following these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it extends over the edges for easy removal later.
2. Melt Dark Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
3. Spread Dark Chocolate: Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly to about ¼ inch thick.
4. Chill Dark Chocolate: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden.
5. Melt White Chocolate: In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped white chocolate and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
6. Add Peppermint Extract: Stir in the peppermint extract into the melted white chocolate for flavor.
7. Spread White Chocolate: Pour the melted white chocolate over the hardened dark chocolate layer. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
8. Add Peppermint Candies: While the white chocolate is still soft, sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies evenly over the top.
9. Chill Again: Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes, allowing the entire layer to set.
10. Break Into Pieces: Once the chocolate is fully set, remove it from the refrigerator. Lift the peppermint crunch out of the baking sheet using the parchment paper and break it into pieces.

With these steps, you’ll create an incredible Peppermint Crunch that is sure to impress!
