Time 10m

Yield 2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 3

20 ounces mint chocolate, chopped (such as Ghirardelli)
1 (7 1/2 ounce) package red-and-white-striped hard peppermint candies, chopped (about 1 generous cup)
1 cup pecans, toasted,chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F.
  • Line 17x11-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle chopped chocolate evenly on parchment-lined sheet.
  • Place in oven just until chocolate is softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from oven.
  • Using rubber spatula or back of spoon, spread chocolate evenly on sheet to edges.
  • Immediately sprinkle peppermint candies and pecans over chocolate.
  • Refrigerate until chocolate is firm, about 2 hours.
  • Cut chocolate bark into irregular bite-size pieces.
  • (Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Store between sheets of foil in airtight containers in refrigerator.) Makes about 2 pounds.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • Toast the pecans before using them to enhance their flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chocolate mixture. It should be just thick enough to hold its shape when dropped from a spoon.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. This will make it easy to lift the bark out of the pan once it has set.
  • Refrigerate the bark for at least 2 hours, or until it is completely set.
  • Break the bark into pieces and enjoy!
