Ingredients

12 oz (300g) dark chocolate ( I use three Ghirardelli 4 oz chocolate bars)
12 oz (300g) white chocolate ( I use three Ghirardelli 4 oz chocolate bars)
1/4 cup (42g) crushed peppermints

Instructions

Line a cookie sheet with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a microwave safe bowl, break the dark chocolate into equal sized pieces.
Microwave at 50% power for 30 second and then stir. Repeat this step until the chocolate is mostly melted and then stir until the remaining pieces of chocolate melt.
Pour the melted dark chocolate onto your prepared cookie sheet and spread to make an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick. Place the chocolate in the fridge to set quickly.
While the chocolate is setting in the fridge, melt the white chocolate.
In a microwave safe bowl, break the white chocolate into equal sized pieces.
Microwave at 50% power for 30 second and then stir. Repeat this step until the chocolate is mostly melted and then stir until the remaining pieces of chocolate melt.
Pour over your set dark chocolate and spread to cover. Immediately sprinkle with crushed peppermints.
Allow the chocolate to set, either at room temperature or in the fridge if you'd like to speed up the process.
Once it is set, break or cut into pieces. Enjoy!

Notes

**Make sure to use 50% power while melting the chocolate. This will help make sure that your chocolate doesn't get too hot. If your chocolate gets too hot, it will not set back up.
