Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan completely with foil and set aside.Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.Low
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (12 ounces) NESTLÉ ® TOLL HOUSE ® Semi–Sweet Chocolate Morsels
- 2 cups (12 ounces) NESTLÉ ® TOLL HOUSE ® Premier White Morsels
- 1 cup crushed candy canes (about 9 whole ones), sifted with dust reserved
Directions:
- Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan completely with foil and set aside.
- Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Lower the heat to medium low, then place the semisweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl resting on top of the pot of simmering water.
- Stir to melt the chocolate until completely smooth, about 5 minutes, making sure no water gets in the bowl as you're working.
- Pour the chocolate into the prepared pan and spread it evenly across the bottom. Place in the refrigerator to cool until just set, 10 to 15 minutes.
- When the semisweet chocolate is nearly ready, repeat steps 2 through 4 with the white chocolate. When the white chocolate is completely melted, stir in the reserved candy cane dust.
- Immediately pour the white chocolate over the semisweet layer, spreading evenly to cover. Sprinkle the candy canes on top, then chill the bark in the refrigerator until firm, about 1 hour.
- Cut the bark into pieces and serve.
Notes:
For alternative melting instructions: Microwave morsels in a small microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute on medium-high power, then stir until smooth. Morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
