It’s time for the Chocolate Party! I have to tell you I was excited about this months combination. Chocolate and mint. So many possibilities. Then Thanksgiving came along and all the sudden, I was behind. On playing with this combination. I waited till the last minute. Yes, I was also that kid in school that would wait till the night before to write a 20 page term paper. It was no big deal, I had an idea in my head, it sounded so good. I just had to make it, take photos, blah, blah, blah. It was a disaster.
 
I had some other peppermint things I wanted to make later this month but, I just didn’t want peppermint for this. Everyone’s dipping candy canes in chocolate this time of year. I was completely lacking inspiration.
 
Then I stumbled onto Caramel Potatoes blog. And her Thin Mint Cookie Bark. She used special chocolate chips to make it. So easy! But I didn’t have the chips. But I did have lots of chocolate!
 
This is just a sample of my stash. This time of year, I have a whole cabinet devoted to to it. Candy Coating or Bark, is easier to work with than Chocolate Chips when it comes to candy making. It’s already been tempered to harden back up after being melted, just like a candy bar.
 
I was all set. Let me tell you, this Bark tastes just like an Andes Mint. Just like it! My taste testers were asking for more. The words “this is some good sh**” were heard. And so easy to make.

Mint Chocolate Bark

Mint Chocolate Bark

Ingredients

  • 1 package chocolate bark
  • 2/3 package white chocolate bark
  • 3-6 teaspoons mint extract (I used McCormick)
  • green food coloring (I used Betty Crocker Gel colors)

Instructions

  1. Melt barks in separate pots. Do not thin with shortening or oil. For the chocolate bark, once melted, add 1-3 teaspoons on mint extract to taste. For the white bark, add 1-3 teaspoons of mint extract and green food coloring. If either bark needs to be thinned a bit, you can now add a teaspoon of shortening. Spread chocolate bark out on a parchment or wax paper lined cookie sheet. Next, drop/drizzle green bark over top of the chocolate bark. Use a toothpick and drag through chocolate to swirl together. Let chocolate cool completely then break/cut into pieces.

Notes

Always test your extract and food coloring on a small portion of your chocolate, not all blends do well with chocolate. Water based flavors and coloring will seize up your chocolate and ruin it.

I like to melt my chocolate in mini crock pots-great temperature control.

About Grace

When I was younger, I was constantly in the kitchen helping my mom bake. It was fun getting to play with the flour and always getting to lick the spoon. I’ve always expressed an interest in baking and now I feel that it’s the right time for me to take over. I am a college student working towards a nursing degree as well as a full-time aunt to the sweetest little kids (they might pop up in some of the posts). I’ve learned most of what I know about baking and cooking from my mom, and I am continuing to self-teach through trial and error, which means plenty of sweets to be eaten. Read more...

    This month was probably my favorite combo, although I loved every single one of the previous ones, but I adore chocolate and mint and your bark looks great! Thanks for bringing it to the party
