Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1.25 cup sweetened condensed milk divided between layers
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter divided
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.75 cup crushed candy canes divided; save some for topping
  • 0.13 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment, leaving overhang.
  • Melt semi-sweet chips, half the condensed milk, and 1 tbsp butter over low heat or in short microwave bursts.
  • Stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt until glossy.
  • Spread the chocolate layer evenly in the pan and chill 10 minutes to slightly set.
  • Melt white chips with remaining condensed milk and 1 tbsp butter until smooth.
  • Stir in peppermint extract and fold in half of the crushed candy canes.
  • Spread the white layer over the chocolate. Sprinkle on remaining candy canes and press lightly.
  • Chill until firm, about 2 hours. Lift out and cut into small squares.

Notes

Try swirling a teaspoon of espresso powder into the chocolate layer for a mocha twist, or add a handful of mini marshmallows on top before chilling. Store tightly covered in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze up to 2 months; serve slightly chilled for clean cuts.
