Have you ever been to a Willams-Sonoma store during the holidays? It’s K-razy! Mostly because that’s the time of the year this gourmet foodie shop rolls out their delicious peppermint bark. It can be total mayhem if you attempt to shop around while the staff hands out generous samples of the signature holiday treat as customers clammer and fall over each other just to snag a free bite. No, we’re not kidding.

Before you head down to the Biltmore, Scottsdale or Chandler locations to grab a batch of your own, you should be aware that it isn’t unusual for the peppermint bark to be completely sold out, seeing as it is always one of Willams-Sonoma’s “Top 20 Favorite Gifts”.

Want to avoid the fuss? Thanks to our expert friends at the DIY Network, we’ve got the recipe to create this holiday snack in the comfort of your own home, without paying $46 a box. Get the fab Recipe after the jump!

What You Need: (this recipe makes 1.5 pounds of the holiday treat)

How the Magic Happens:

Step 1: Combine dark chocolate, whipping cream, and peppermint extract together in a bowl. Set over sauce pan of barely boiling water until chocolate is smooth and melted. 

 

Step 2: Pour chocolate onto foil and spread evenly over the surface. Sprinkle crushed peppermints over the chocolate layer. Place in the refrigerator to chill.

Step 3: Repeat step 1 with the white chocolate.

Step 4: Pour white chocolate over the dark chocolate peppermint layer and top with more peppermints. Refrigerate for at least 25 minutes.

Happy Baking!
