For a more intense peppermint flavor, add a few drops of peppermint extract to both the milk and white chocolate layers.
Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
To prevent the white chocolate from seizing, melt it gently and avoid overheating.
Store the peppermint bark in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.
