Creamy chocolate. Sweet peppermint. Doesn't it just sound delicious? Don't you want some right now?
Peppermint Bark
3 crushed candy canes
1 lb white chocolate
(If you can, opt for the block form of chocolate found in the baking aisle of most stores. I find it melts better than the chips.)
Melt chocolate according to package instructions. Add crushed candy canes to melted chocolate and stir.
Line a 9 x 13 baking pan with waxed paper. Pour chocolate mixture over paper. Place in fridge to set, about 1 hour.
Remove bark from pan and break into pieces.
Giving it as a gift?
Try this...
* Package bark in a white candy box lined with red striped paper. To make it even sweeter, wrap a ribbon around the box, secure with a bow and add a homemade label.
* Like chocolate? Add a layer of melted chocolate to the lined pan. Cool 15 minutes, then pour the peppermint mix over the top and proceed as directed above.
* Like almonds? Forget the candy canes and add 1-2 cups of chopped, toasted almonds to white or milk chocolate. Proceed as directed above.
