Lay out your parchment paper on a cookie sheet. In a glass bowl, melt the milk chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments. Then, once melted, stir well with a spatula until smooth. Add in 1-3 drops of peppermint essential oil (totally depends on how "pepperminty" you want it... the peppermint oil is very potent so a little goes a long way!) Then stir well.

Pour the chocolate on the parchment paper and spread evenly. Place in the freezer for about 10 minutes or until solidified.
-
Once the milk chocolate layer is solid, repeat the previous steps with the white chocolate (melt, stir until smooth, add in 1-2 drops of peppermint essential oil, and stir.) Then, pour the melted white chocolate on top of the solidified milk chocolate and spread evenly.

Then, you can get creative! Even though I love peppermint, I'm actually not the biggest fan of candy canes (weird, I know), so instead of crushed candy canes, I added some raw cane sugar crystals to the top (kinda hard to see in the pics) to add some sparkle AND a nice little crunch factor. Then I added some chocolate chips because, well, I love chocolate chips and it's my peppermint bark and I'll add chocolate chips if I want to. BUT, you could totally do sprinkles or crushed Oreos or anything!

Then, place back in the freezer for another 10-15 minutes. Once solidified, break it apart into little servings and you're good to go!
