Unwrap the candy canes and place them in a plastic bag. Use a rolling pin or the back of a spoon to crush the candy canes into small pieces. Set aside.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted. Stir in 1/2 tsp of peppermint extract for a subtle peppermint flavor.
Step 3: Spread the Chocolate
Pour the melted chocolate onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it into an even layer with a spatula.

In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
Step 5: Add the Candy Canes
Pour the melted white chocolate on top of the semi-sweet chocolate layer. Use a knife or spatula to swirl the two chocolates together. Sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top of the chocolate.
Step 6: Chill and Break
Place the baking sheet in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the bark to harden. Once fully hardened, remove from the fridge and break the bark into small pieces.
