Preparation
- Gather Ingredients: Start by collecting all your ingredients including high-quality dark chocolate, peppermint extract, and crushed mint candies.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place your chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring well until it's completely melted and silky smooth.
- Add Peppermint Flavor: Once the chocolate is melted, stir in a few drops of peppermint extract. Taste a tiny bit to adjust the flavor.
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it covers the entire surface for easy removal later on.
- Pour and Spread: Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to spread it evenly into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
- Sprinkle Toppings: While the chocolate is still warm, generously sprinkle crushed mint candies over the top. Press them lightly into the chocolate.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm to the touch.
- Break into Pieces: Once set, remove from the fridge and gently break into irregular pieces.
