So you will need a good quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate (Lindt, Guirardelli or Baker’s chocolate will be best). 12 ounces of each (dark or semi sweet and white). Canola, vegetable or coconut oil 1 tsp. Peppermint extract 1 tsp. Peppermint candy canes or Peppermint candy to crush on top. To temper the chocolate you can do double boiler or microwave. I like double boiler better. I feel that the chocolate gets smoother. If you want to do it in the microwave you have to melt in small increments. Chopped each kind of chocolate in small pieces. Put the dark chocolate in a glass bowl and add 1/2 tsp of oil of your preference and melt. Once melted, add 1/2 tsp of peppermint extract and mix. Pour in a 9×13 pan previously wrapped with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place it in refrigerator until cooled. Do the same with white chocolate and once melted pour on top of dark chocolate already cooled down. Do this process twice with each kind of chocolate. Add crush peppermint candies (you can chop them in the food processor or place them in a ziplock bag and beat them up with a rolling pin) the second way is also stress relieving on those days were things didn’t work out as you wanted, your husband is extra needy and your kids extra whinny. Lol! Just kidding… After you add the crushed peppermint just cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Once ready to eat you can cut it in uneven pieces or if you want to cut in perfect squares allow 10 minutes at room temperature before doing it.
