By tulawdog

Ingredients

• 14 ounce bag melting dark chocolate
• 14 ounce bag melting white chocolate
• 4 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp peppermint extract
• 2 cups crushed candy canes

Preparation

Step 1

Put some parchment paper on a large cookie sheet. Spray the parchment paper with non stick spray(This just ensures easy removal of the chocolate).

Melt the dark chocolate and 2 tbsp oil in a microwave safe bowl. It will take about 4 minutes total. Every minute take it out and stir it. When it is all melted stir in the peppermint extract. Pour the chocolate over a the parchment paper.

Allow the chocolate too cool completely before you add the white chocolate layer.

Melt the white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl with 2 tbsp vegetable oil. Microwave for 4 minutes, stirring at each minute. Pour it over the chocolate mixture. You may have to smooth it over. Don't smooth it too much or the white chocolate will melt the dark chocolate and you will get swirls.

Top with the crushed candy canes. Allow it to cool completely. To speed this process along, you can put the cookie sheet into the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
