Chocolate peppermint bark is an easy Christmas candy to make! Use chocolate graham crackers, vanilla almond bark, and crushed candy canes to make this festive 10 minute holiday treat.
Crush the candy canes. 2 methods: blend in food processor or blender. Or place the unwrapped candy canes into a ziplock bag, zip it closed, cover the bag with the towel (to help contain any flying pieces) and whack the candy canes with the rolling pin.
Cover a 10 x 15 inch baking sheet (or any size) with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Line the baking sheet with a single layer of chocolate graham crackers. I used 14 whole graham crackers and 6 quarter pieces to fill my pan.

Chop the almond bark into smaller pieces for quicker melting. Place the chocolate in a glass bowl and microwave for 3 minutes on 50% power, stirring and then continuing to microwave on 50% power until mostly melted. Stir the chocolate until fully melted.
24 oz vanilla almond bark
Pour the chocolate over the graham crackers, spread into an even layer. If the graham crackers slide around while spreading the chocolate, gently push them back together. Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top.

Allow the bark to set. At room temperature, the bark will take 2-3 hours to set. To speed up the process, you can put the bark in the fridge and it will set within an hour.
Once the bark is set and hard, you can break the bark into pieces with your hands or you can use a sharp knife to cut the bark into pieces.
