Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Layers
  • 11 oz 1 bag dark chocolate chips Alternatively, use milk chocolate for a sweeter flavor.
  • 5.5 oz 1/2 bag white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Divided into two tablespoons.
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • to taste Green gel food coloring Adjust based on desired color intensity.

Method
 

Melt the Dark Chocolate
  1. Place 1 bag of dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on 50% power for 1 minute.
  2. Stir in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and return to the microwave, heating in 30-second bursts until smooth. Set aside.
Prepare the White Chocolate
  1. In a separate bowl, repeat the process with the white chocolate chips, using the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  2. Once melted, add the peppermint extract and a few drops of green gel food coloring. Stir until smooth.
Layer the Chocolate in the Mold
  1. Lay your silicone mold flat on your table. Fill the bottom of the mold with melted dark chocolate, about ⅓ of the way.
  2. Spoon in the green chocolate to cover the dark layer, filling the mold up to ⅔.
  3. Top with the remaining dark chocolate, ensuring everything is smooth.
Chill to Set
  1. Place the filled mold on a baking sheet for stability and transfer it to the freezer. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
Cut and Serve
  1. Once set, pop the chocolates out of the mold and place them on a cutting board.
  2. Slice along the pre-grooved edges to create five 1x2 pieces per bar. Enjoy or store in the refrigerator!
