Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped and divided
- 6 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil or coconut oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract, divided
- 2–3 regular-size candy canes, crushed
Instructions
- Prepare the pan by lining the bottom and sides of an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Make the bottom white chocolate layer: Melt 6 ounces of white chocolate with 1/2 teaspoon of oil in a microwave, stirring until smooth. Mix in 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract and pour into the prepared pan. Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add the middle chocolate layer: Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil, and mix in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract. Pour over the chilled white chocolate layer and refrigerate for another 10 to 15 minutes.
- Finish with the top white chocolate layer: Melt the remaining 6 ounces of white chocolate with the last 1/2 teaspoon of oil and pour over the middle layer, then sprinkle crushed candy canes on top and press in gently.
- Chill until fully set, about 1 hour. Lift out, cut, or break into pieces, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
