Ingredients
  

Chocolate Layer
  • 2 cups Dark or Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Choose semi-sweet for balance or dark for a bolder taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Butter Adds creaminess.
  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk At room temperature for best results.
Peppermint Swirl
  • 1.5 cups White Chocolate Chips Use high-quality chocolate.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Peppermint Extract Add to each layer for balanced flavor.
  • 1-2 drops Gel Food Coloring For vibrant swirls.
  • 1/2 cup Crushed Peppermint Candy For decoration and crunch.

Equipment

  • Double Boiler
  • 8x8-inch square pan
  • Spatula
  • Skewer or toothpick
  • Hot knife

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a double boiler over low heat, combine 2 cups of dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon of butter, and 1 can of room temperature sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, melt 1½ cups of white chocolate chips together with ⅓ cup of sweetened condensed milk using gentle heat, stirring until silky and melted, about 3-5 minutes. Add gel food coloring and mix until vibrant.
  3. Grease an 8x8-inch square pan. Pour about ¾ of the chocolate mixture into the pan, spreading evenly. Dollop spoonfuls of white chocolate on top and swirl gently using a skewer or toothpick.
  4. Spoon remaining chocolate into gaps of white chocolate, swirl gently again, then sprinkle crushed peppermint candy on top.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator uncovered for at least 3 hours until firm.
  6. Remove from pan and cut into squares using a hot knife for clean edges.
