No-Bake Peppermint Bark Snowballs

1. Prepare the Peppermint Bark Layers:
   • Melt the Dark Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Stir in the peppermint extract.
   • Melt the White Chocolate: In another bowl, melt the white chocolate chips the same way. Once melted, mix in a few tablespoons of crushed peppermint candies.
2. Assemble the Bark:
   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   • Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it out into a thin, even layer.
   • Immediately drizzle the melted white chocolate on top of the dark chocolate. You can create a marble effect by swirling the two together with a toothpick or knife.
   • Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies evenly over the top of the white chocolate layer.
   • Refrigerate the bark for at least 1-2 hours or until it’s firm and set.
3. Shape the Snowballs:
   • Once the peppermint bark is set and firm, break it into small pieces. Using your hands or a spoon, chop and crumble the bark into bite-sized pieces.
   • Gently press the pieces together into small, snowball-like shapes. The mixture will be a little crumbly, but as it comes together, it will hold its shape.
4. Coat the Snowballs:
   • Roll each snowball in powdered sugar to coat them completely. This will give them a snowy, frosty appearance.
   • Optionally, drizzle a bit of melted white chocolate over the top for added shine and a final festive touch.
   • Garnish with a sprinkle of crushed peppermint if you like extra peppermint flavor and texture.

Pro Tips:

• Crushed Peppermint Candies: You can use store-bought crushed peppermint candies or crush your own candy canes for an extra holiday touch.
• Chill Time: Be sure to chill the bark long enough so that it firms up properly before shaping it into snowballs. This helps the snowballs stay intact when rolled.
• Customize the Coating: If you’d like to make them even more indulgent, you can dip the snowballs in extra melted chocolate before rolling them in powdered sugar.
