1 Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Melt the milk and white chocolates in two separate heatproof bowls over pans of simmering water, ensuring the bowls don’t touch the water. Or, melt in the microwave in 20-second bursts. Add the peppermint extract to the melted milk chocolate and gently mix until combined.
2 Pour the peppermint milk chocolate over the center of the pan. Smooth using spatula until it’s 1/16in thick, then drizzle over the white chocolate. Gently swirl the white chocolate through the milk chocolate using a teaspoon, then sprinkle over the candy cane chunks.
3 Leave to set at room temperature (the milk chocolate may discolor if it's put in the fridge). Once fully set, freeze for 10 mins, then snap into shards. Will keep in an airtight container lined with parchment paper for up to two weeks.
