Peppermint pink valentine mold –Welcome to my cozy kitchen! Today, I’m excited to share a delightful and festive treat that’s perfect for the holidays—Pink Peppermint Bark Candy. It’s an easy and fun recipe that combines the rich taste of chocolate with the refreshing flair of peppermint. This sweet indulgence will surely impress your family and friends. Let’s dive right into the recipe!
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to create your own Pink Peppermint Bark:
- 12 ounces of white chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract
- 1/4 cup of crushed peppermint candies (or candy canes)
- 12 ounces of dark chocolate, chopped
- Additional crushed peppermint candies for topping
Instructions
Making Pink Peppermint Bark is a breeze! Follow these simple steps to whip up your batch:
- First, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will keep your bark from sticking.
- Next, melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth. If using a microwave, be sure to stir between intervals to avoid burning.
- Once melted, stir in the peppermint extract and half of the crushed peppermint candies. This will give your bark a delightful flavor!
Layering the Bark
Now it’s time to create layers!
Pour the melted white chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly. Tap the baking sheet gently on the counter to eliminate any air bubbles. Sprinkle additional crushed peppermint candies on top for extra crunch and decoration!
- Allow the white chocolate layer to cool and set, which should take about 30 minutes at room temperature, or you can speed up the process by putting the baking sheet in the refrigerator.
- While the white chocolate is setting, melt the dark chocolate using the same method as the white chocolate.
- Once the dark chocolate is melted, pour it over the set white chocolate layer and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle more crushed peppermint candies on top before the dark chocolate sets. This adds an extra festive touch!
- Let the entire bark set at room temperature or refrigerate until fully hardened, about 1 hour.
Enjoy!
Once your pink peppermint bark is set, simply break it into pieces and enjoy the delightful flavors. It’s perfect for holiday gatherings, gift-giving, or simply indulging your sweet tooth. Happy baking, and may your kitchen be filled with the sweet smell of peppermint!
