Ingredients
3 (10 oz) packages Ghirardelli wafers (milk or dark chocolate)
1 packet hot cocoa mix
1 (10 oz) package white chocolate wafers
1 (7 oz) container marshmallow fluff
2 teaspoons mint extract
1 cup chopped peppermint kisses
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Melt the Ghirardelli wafers in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Stir in the hot cocoa packet and mint extract until fully combined.
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the prepared baking sheet (about ¼ inch thick). Let it set slightly.
- Melt the white chocolate wafers until smooth. Warm the marshmallow fluff slightly, then gently fold it into the melted white chocolate to create swirls.
- Dollop the marshmallow-white chocolate mixture over the chocolate layer and swirl with a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.
- Sprinkle the chopped peppermint kisses evenly over the top and press lightly to adhere.
- Allow the bark to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Once firm, break into irregular pieces and store in an airtight container.
Notes
Use peppermint extract instead of mint extract for a stronger flavor—about 1 teaspoon.
Add crushed candy canes or holiday sprinkles for extra crunch and color.
For a darker flavor, use bittersweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
To prevent layer separation, add the top layer while the bottom is slightly soft.
Store bark in a cool, dry place or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
