Last year, my sister purchased tins of Williams Sonoma Peppermint Bark and handed it out to everyone for Christmas.
I fell deeply in love.
However, this year when I went to go purchase some lovely Peppermint Bark for myself, I had a bit of sticker shock!
It’s quite pricey!
I decided to see if I could recreate the magic at home and started googling “copycat Williams Sonoma Peppermint Bark” recipes.
I found the ingredients were actually quite simple!
So simple in fact, that I didn’t actually follow any one recipe when making this. I just kind of made it based on the ingredients I saw repeatedly in the recipes I came across.
It’s super simple and while it is less expensive than purchasing the bark from Williams Sonoma, I’m not sure it’s EXACTLY the same.
Still…so worth it. So good. You need to make this!
Copycat Williams Sonoma Peppermint Bark
Ingredients:
- 1 bag of Ghirardelli White Chocolate Chips
- 1 bag of Ghirardelli Semisweet Chocolate Chips
- About 5 or 6 Peppermint Candy Canes
- Peppermint Oil (found this by the candy making section or purchase here)
Directions:
Crush up your candy canes! Be sure to crush them up well. I had some bigger pieces in my bark and they were a bit overwhelming.
Next, melt your semisweet chocolate chips over a double boiler being VERY careful to not over do it. (take it off the heat before fully melted! and stir stir stir the whole time)
Add 1/4 teaspoon peppermint oil to your chocolate and stir
Pour your chocolate into a foil lined 13×9 pan
Allow to set and cool for just a bit
Melt your white chocolate the same way.
Pour over the semisweet chocolate and then sprinkle your candy cane pieces on top.
Let fully cool/harden (I put mine in the fridge) and enjoy!
This is so super simple and it’s so tasty. Give it as a gift or enjoy it all by yourself!

Peppermint oil is often found at the pharmacy too. I just went to the pharmacy in the grocery store last week and they had it there.
thanks for the tip Netty!
