  • Place it in the fridge to chill for 8 to 10 minutes, until it's almost set.
  • Place the white chocolate into another medium sized microwave safe bowl, and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring well after each time.
  • Stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract.
  • Pour the white chocolate over the dark chocolate, and carefully spread it evenly over the top.
  • Sprinkle the candy cane pieces evenly over the top of the white chocolate.
  • Place the pan in the fridge to harden, or let it set at room temperature for several hours until hard.
  • Break, or cut the bark into pieces, as big or as small as you want.
