Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture. Ensure the water in the double boiler doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl to prevent scorching. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate or dark chocolate, to customize the flavor. For a more intense peppermint flavor, you can add a few drops of peppermint oil instead of extract. Store the peppermint bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness and prevent the chocolate from melting.
