Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Pour the chocolate into a thin single layer on your baking sheet, smoothing out with a spoon. Place the baking sheet into the freezer for 30 minutes.
After the dark chocolate has frozen, place the bowl containing white chocolate chip into the microwave. And microwave the chips on 20-second intervals, stirring well in between, until melted.
Pour the white chocolate over the semi-sweet, smoothing out into a thin layer with a spoon.
Sprinkle crushed/chopped candy canes over top of the white chocolate. Place the pan back into the freezer for another 30 minutes.
Once solid, break the candy cane bark into small pieces.
