Four-Ingredient Peppermint Bark

Directions

1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Put 3 ounces of the chocolate into a small microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave for 30 seconds. Stir chocolate with a rubber spatula to stir; heat in microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir again with spatula until melted and smooth. Stir remaining chopped chocolate into the melted until all has melted into a glossy, smooth chocolate. If it doesn't melt all the way by stirring, heat in microwave for additional 15 seconds.
3. Stir half the peppermint extract into the chocolate; spread onto the prepared sheet. Use spatula to spread into an even, ½-inch-thick layer.
4. Repeat melting process with white chocolate in a separate bowl. Stir remaining peppermint extract through the white chocolate; add food coloring and swirl into the chocolate with a knife to make streaks through the chocolate.
5. Pour white chocolate mixture over the dark chocolate and spread to cover as much as you like. (Try leaving a ½-inch border of dark chocolate around the edges, for example.)
6. Let chocolate cool until set and firm, at least 2 hours. If you’re eager to eat it, you can set in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
7. Cut into irregular pieces to serve.
