Ingredients

Ingredients for white chocolate crack labelled
  • White chocolate
  • Unsalted butter
  • Peppermint extract
  • M&M candies
  • Crushed candy canes

A full list of ingredients with measurements is located on the recipe card, below.

Instructions

START WITH...

Collecting your ingredients - This will make cooking so much easier. Gather all the spices you will need, and keep them nearby. 

Chop the chocolate - If you are using bars of white chocolate, you can either break it off into sections, or chop it roughly with a knife so it melts faster. You will want to chop the M&M candies as well.

step by step instructions to prepare white chocolate crack

Make a double-boiler setup over medium low heat. This means, bring half a pot of water to a simmer in a sauce pan, and place a bowl with the chocolate and butter on top. Allow the chocolate to melt slowly.

Spray a foil-lined baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Once the chocolate is melted smooth, add the peppermint extract, and stir. Pour the chocolate onto the baking sheet and spread into an even layer.

Top the chocolate with M&M candies and crushed peppermint candies. Transfer to the freezer for 30 minutes to let the chocolate set.

Once the chocolate has hardened, remove from the freezer and break into rough-sized pieces.

EXPERT TIP

Always keep an eye on white chocolate! White chocolate can be finicky to melt. I recommend adding the butter while melting it, and stirring consistently.

If you do not have a double boiler, you can also melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments. After each 30 seconds, stir the chocolate.

Substitutions

  • White chocolate: Feel free to use milk, or dark chocolate if you prefer.
  • Butter: You can also use coconut oil.

Variations

  • The toppings are endless for this Christmas crack! Try it out with your favourite candies.

Equipment

This is what I used to make this recipe - Please be mindful that different equipment and cooking utensils may yield varying results. Most of my favourite equipment can be found on my storefront.

  • Sauce pans
  • Mixing bowl
  • Sheet tray

Storage

The white chocolate bark will keep in an airtight container for 2-3 weeks. If you choose to leave it at room temperature, it should keep for 5-7 days.
