Ingredients
 

  • 10 ounces dark or semi-sweet chocolate, either bar chocolate cut in pieces for easier melting, or chips
  • 1 tsp espresso powder or instant coffee powder
  • 10 ounces white chocolate, either bar chocolate, or white almond bark, cut in pieces for easier melting Note: I don't recommend white chocolate chips as they do not melt easily.
  • 4 Tbsp crushed peppermint, amount is approximate, Buy Andes Crushed Peppermint here.

Instructions

  • Put the dark chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on full power for 60 seconds. Let the bowl sit for a minute, then stir. Microwave for another 30 seconds, let sit for a minute, and stir again. Let the heat of the bowl help melt the final bits of chocolate, while you stir.

  • Scrape out the chocolate onto a parchment lined baking sheet and spread out into roughly an 8x10 rectangle.

  • Melt the white chocolate as above. Note: if you are using actual white chocolate, the best method for melting will be gently in a double boiler. White confectionary or bark can be melted in the microwave.
