Ingredients:
– 1 cup dark chocolate chips

– 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup crushed candy canes
Instructions:
1. In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each session until smooth and fully melted.
2. Once melted, add the peppermint extract and heavy cream to the dark chocolate. Stir until well combined and smooth.
3. Pour the dark chocolate mixture into a square baking dish lined with parchment paper. Spread it out evenly with a spatula. Place in the refrigerator to set for about 20 minutes.
4. In another heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave following the same process as before.
5. Stir in the salt and crushed candy canes into the melted white chocolate. This will give the candy a delightful crunch and burst of peppermint flavor.
6. Remove the dark chocolate mixture from the refrigerator. Pour the white chocolate mixture on top of the dark chocolate layer, spreading it out evenly.
7. Return the dish to the refrigerator and allow the candies to set for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
