Steps:
- Turn a large baking sheet bottom side up. Cover securely with foil. Mark a 12x9-inch rectangle on the foil. Stir the white chocolate in metal bowl set over saucepan of barely simmering water (do not allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the water) until the chocolate is melted and smooth and a candy thermometer registers 110°F (the chocolate will feel warm to the touch). Remove the pan from over the water. Pour 2/3 cup of the melted white chocolate onto the marked rectangle on the foil. Using an icing spatula, spread the chocolate to fill the rectangle. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup crushed candy canes. Chill until set, about 15 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, stir the bittersweet chocolate, cream and peppermint extract over medium-low heat until just melted and smooth. Cool to barely lukewarm, about 5 minutes. Pour the bittersweet chocolate mixture over the white chocolate rectangle. Using an icing spatula, spread the bittersweet chocolate in an even layer. Refrigerate until very cold and firm, about 25 minutes.
- Re-warm the remaining white chocolate in a bowl set over barely simmering water to 110°F. Working quickly, pour the white chocolate over the firm bittersweet chocolate layer; spread to cover. Immediately sprinkle with the remaining crushed candy canes. Chill just until firm, about 20 minutes. If you let the bark go much longer than this- it will be very hard to cut neatly.
- Lift the foil with the bark onto a work surface; trim the edges. Cut the bark crosswise into 2-inch wide strips. Using a metal spatula, slide the bark off the foil and onto the work surface. Cut each strip crosswise into squares. You can also cut the squares diagonally into triangles.

LAYERED PEPPERMINT BARK
I never liked peppermint bark until I tried this recipe. The soft ganache center contrasts perfectly with the crunchy peppermints.

Steps:
- Line a 9x12 inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Melt half of the white chocolate in the top of a double boiler over just barely simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.

- Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate, heavy cream, and peppermint extract together in the top of a double boiler over just barely simmering water, stirring frequently, until just melted. Quickly pour the chocolate layer over the chilled white chocolate layer; spread evenly. Chill until firm, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the remaining white chocolate in the top of a double boiler over just barely simmering water, stirring frequently, until just melted. Spread quickly over the chilled bark. Sprinkle with the remaining peppermint pieces; chill until firm, about 20 minutes. Cut or break into small pieces to serve.

ALMOST-FAMOUS PEPPERMINT BARK
Execs at Williams-Sonoma were just trying to build up their food-gifts selection when they started selling peppermint bark in 1999. Little did they know that they'd created a monster: The candy quickly gained a cult following. Fans are known to stake out stores for months until the stuff hits shelves in the fall. (It tends to sell out before Christmas.) And food bloggers have been trying to knock off the recipe for years. Food Network Kitchens gave it a whirl and came up with this near-perfect copy.

Steps:
- Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, shiny-side up; smooth out any wrinkles. Heat 1 inch of water in a saucepan over low heat until steaming.
- Put all but 3/4 cup of the semisweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over the saucepan of steaming water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and stir until one-third of the chocolate is melted. Remove the bowl from the saucepan; keep the steaming water over low heat. Gradually stir the reserved 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate into the bowl, a few pieces at a time, until all of the chocolate is melted. Return the bowl to the saucepan, 5 to 10 seconds at a time, to help melt the chocolate, if needed. Do not rush this step: It may take up to 10 minutes to melt the chocolate.
- Wipe off any moisture from the bottom of the bowl. Stir 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract into the chocolate, then quickly pour into the prepared baking dish and spread in an even layer. Firmly tap the dish against the counter to remove any air bubbles. Set aside at room temperature until almost set, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put all but 1 cup of the white chocolate in a large heatproof bowl and repeat the melting process over the steaming water; dry off the bottom of the bowl. Stir in the remaining 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract; pour over the semisweet chocolate and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle immediately with the crushed candy canes, gently pressing them into the white chocolate. Set aside at room temperature until firm, about 1 hour. Lift the bark out of the pan using the foil and break it into pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

SALLY'S THREE-LAYER PEPPERMINT BARK
I received this very pretty treat from my neighbor at Christmas. Even though Christmas is past, I'm posting it anyway so it will be here for next Christmas! I had to hound Sally for this recipe, poor thing. I'm sure she must have ducked out of sight every time she saw me first! Three layers makes these different from the usual bark and the taste is delicious. Sally emphasizes that GOOD quality white chocolate is essential. She uses the kind found in box like baking chocolate although it is a bit hard to find. You can use the round peppermints or candy canes in this recipe; do not crush too fine.
