peppermint bark

Peppermint Bark is a holiday staple for many people.  Usually coming in a tin from Williams-Sonoma or in a big tub from Costco.  :o)

This recipe tastes just as good as those more-famous store bought versions, if not better, and is much cheaper... not to mention incredibly simple to make!


You will never need to buy store bought peppermint bark again!


Peppermint Bark Recipe

Ingredients:
2 cups good-quality white chocolate chips
1 cup good-quality chocolate chips
1/2 cup crushed candy canes

Directions:
Line a baking sheet with foil, shiny side up.

Carefully melt the white and dark chocolates in separate dishes, stirring every 20 seconds or so to make sure they don't burn.

Spread the chocolates side by side on the baking sheet, about 1/4 inch thick.  With a butter knife or small spatula, swirl together the chocolates until they look pretty!

Sprinkle with the crushed candy and set aside to cool, at least one hour or until firm.  Remove from the foil and break into chunks.
