Peppermint Bark
Prep Time:
10 mins
Cook Time:
7-8 mins
Servings:
8-10 pieces
Fridge Time:
2hrs
Product:
Air Fryer Oven
Ingredients
- 1 white chocolate bar (110g), broken into pieces
- 2 dark chocolate bars (110g each), broken into pieces
- 8 candy canes, crushed
- Flaky sea salt, as needed
Instructions
- Line the toaster oven tray with parchment paper, ensuring it covers the entire surface to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the chocolate bars directly on the parchment paper, starting with one layer of dark chocolate, then white chocolate, and finishing with another layer of dark chocolate. Place the pieces close together, leaving no gaps.
- Preheat the Air Fryer Oven to 95°C on the Bake function. Place the tray in the oven and Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted and glossy but not bubbling.
- Remove the tray from the air fryer oven. Using a toothpick or skewer, swirl the melted dark and white chocolate to create a marbled effect, being careful to maintain the overall rectangular shape of the bark.
- Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes evenly over the swirled chocolate, followed by a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt for added texture and flavor.
- Refrigerate the tray with the peppermint bark cool for 2 hours, or until very chilled.
- Once the chocolate is firm, break the bark into pieces of your desired size. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week
