Step 1:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2:

Melt the semisweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler) or in 30-second bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.

Step 3:

Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a rectangle about ½ cm thick.

Step 4:

While the chocolate is still warm, evenly sprinkle the hot cocoa mix, mini marshmallows, and crushed peppermint candies (if using) over the surface.

Step 5:

Melt the white chocolate using the same method as above. Using a spoon, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the bark in zig-zag patterns.

Step 6:

Add chocolate sprinkles or any additional toppings as desired.

Step 7:

Gently press toppings into the chocolate with a spatula or your hands to ensure they stick.

Step 8:

Refrigerate the bark for at least 30 minutes, or until fully set.

Once firm, break the bark into large pieces. Package as gifts or store in an airtight container.
