Directions
- 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, allowing an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- 2
Melt the dark chocolate: Place chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
- 3
Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly into a thin layer (about 1/8-inch thick) using an offset spatula. Place in the refrigerator to set for 10-15 minutes.
- 4
While the dark chocolate is setting, melt the white chocolate: Place chopped white chocolate in a separate microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted. Stir in the peppermint extract.
- 5
Add green food coloring to the melted white chocolate, a few drops at a time, until you achieve your desired vibrant mint green color. Mix well.
- 6
Once the dark chocolate is firm to the touch, pour the green mint chocolate mixture over the dark chocolate layer, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
- 7
Immediately sprinkle the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies evenly over the green mint chocolate layer. If desired, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for a contrasting flavor.
- 8
Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the bark is completely firm.
- 9
Once firm, lift the parchment paper from the baking sheet and transfer the bark to a cutting board. Break or carefully cut the bark into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
