1 teaspoon peppermint extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

# Steps:

Line an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal. Lightly coat the parchment with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine semisweet chocolate chips and 7 ounces of the sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until smooth and melted. Remove from heat and mix in 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract and salt. Pour mixture into prepared dish and spread evenly.

Pour the melted white chocolate mixture evenly over the semisweet chocolate layer. Using a spatula, spread gently. Draw a knife or skewer through both layers to create a marbled swirl pattern, taking care not to overmix.

Evenly sprinkle crushed peppermint candies or candy canes across the surface for flavor and decoration.

Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 2 hours until firm and fully set.
