Melt the chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals until melted. Stir in the peppermint extract.
Create the first layer: Pour the dark chocolate onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it in an even layer. Pop it in the freezer for 5 minutes.
Make the matcha layer: Now, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave. Once melted, stir in the matcha powder until fully dissolved. Pour the matcha chocolate over the dark chocolate layer and use a spoon to evenly spread it.
Add toppings: Sprinkle with crushed candy canes, then pop it in the freezer until set, about 10 minutes.
Break & enjoy: Snap into pieces and store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy!
Notes
Use a good-quality matcha. I always use ceremonial grade matcha. Culinary grade matcha often tastes bitter.
Thin the chocolate with coconut oil. If your chocolate is too thick, stir in ½ tsp coconut oil for a smoother texture.
Gift it! This matcha peppermint bark is perfect for holiday gifting. Who doesn't like to receive chocolate as a gift?
