- Temper the chocolate properly to ensure a smooth and shiny finish.
- Use a variety of toppings for a more festive look.
- Store the bark in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the chocolate's temperature by dipping a spoon into it and then touching it to your lips. If it feels warm, it's not ready yet. If it feels cool, it's ready to use.
- If you're using a microwave to melt the chocolate, be sure to do it in short bursts, stirring in between, to prevent the chocolate from overheating and seizing.
- If you don't have parchment paper, you can use wax paper or even aluminum foil, but be sure to grease it lightly with cooking spray to prevent the chocolate from sticking.
- To make peppermint bark with white chocolate, simply substitute white chocolate for the semisweet chocolate.
- You can also add other flavors to your peppermint bark, such as crushed candy canes, chopped nuts, or dried fruit.
