What you need:

8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

8-ounce white chocolate bar (not chips)

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided

1 tbsp Singing Dog Vanilla Bean Paste

1 cup crushed candy canes

Singing vanilla bean paste: a game changer

A distinctive feature of this recipe is the addition of Singing Dog Vanilla Bean Paste to the white chocolate layer. The paste infuses the bark with a rich, warm vanilla flavor that elevates it from a simple treat to a gourmet delight. The tiny specks of vanilla bean in the paste add visual appeal and depth of flavor, making every bite irresistible.

However, adding vanilla bean paste to melted white chocolate can sometimes cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy. Don’t panic: there’s a simple solution! Stir in the very hot water, a few drops at a time, until the chocolate is smooth and spreadable. This little extra step is totally worth it for the unparalleled flavor that the vanilla paste imparts to the bark.

First make the layer of semi-sweet chocolate and freeze until solid.

Add the white chocolate layer and the crushed candy canes.
