Description

Instructions

1. 

   Before you begin, cover the base of a large rectangular tin with cling film.

2. 

   Break the milk chocolate into a bowl and melt in a microwave in 30 second blasts, stirring each time, until it's completely melted.

3. 

   Scoop the milk chocolate into your baking tray and spread out flat with a spatula.

4. 

   Leave to set for several hours.

5. 

   Repeat the process with the white chocolate, adding a few drops of peppermint essence if you want your bark to be extra minty.

6. 

   Use a spoon to drizzle the white chocolate artistically over the top of the milk chocolate.

7. 

   Break the candy canes into the bowl of a mortar and pestle.

8. 

   Crush into a fine powder with the mortar.

9. 

   Sprinkle on top of the still melty white chocolate.

10. 

    For some extra sparkle, I added edible pink glitter sugar.

11. 

    Sprinkle the sugar over the chocolate.

12. 

    Leave to set for several hours then remove the cling film from the back.

13. 

    Stab the bark with a knife to break into chunks.

14. 

    Package up in cellophane, tying with ribbon and give away as gifts.
