Mint Chocolate Bark – A deliciously minty white chocolate layer swirled into a thick layer of melted dark chocolate. Perfect for an indulgent treat, or gift-giving!
Where are my mint chocolate lovers at?? 🙂
I have the perfect NO-BAKE treat for you today, that will only take 10 minutes of your time to make – Mint Chocolate Bark!
This Mint Chocolate Bark only requires 4 ingredients, and is so simple to throw together. Top with your favourite mint chocolate candy for extra minty-refreshing deliciousness.
It makes the most indulgent quick treat, or will be perfect for gift-giving this Christmas!
Ingredients for Mint Chocolate Bark:
- white chocolate
- peppermint extract
- green food colouring
- chocolate (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
To make this minty bark, simply add the white chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl, and heat in 20 second intervals, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth. Stir in the peppermint extract, and food colouring, then set aside.
Melt the dark chocolate in the same way you melted the white chocolate. Pour onto a large baking tray lined with parchment paper, and spread out into a large rectangle.
Drizzle dollops of the mint white chocolate on top (use a much or as little as you want of the mixture), and use a toothpick to swirl the two mixtures together.
Top with your favourite mint chocolate candy, then allow the chocolate to set at room temperature, or in the fridge. Once set, break into pieces.
The printable recipe card with the FULL list of ingredients and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.
NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.
Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.
Because this recipe only calls for 4 ingredients, and most of that is chocolate, I highly suggest using good quality chocolate that you enjoy eating on its own.
If desired, you can skip the green food colouring, but I think it makes this bark look extra minty, and so festive!
