Peppermint Bark

Makes 20 servings

12 ounces dark chocolate

12 ounces white chocolate

8 peppermint candy canes, unwrapped and crushed into small pieces

  1. Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Melt dark chocolate in a saucepan. Pour melted chocolate onto prepared cookie sheet, using a spatula to spread it evenly to one-eighth-inch thickness. Chocolate does not need to fill entire sheet.
  3. Place cookie sheet in refrigerator to let dark chocolate harden while preparing white chocolate.
  4. Melt white chocolate in a saucepan. When melted, stir in three-fourths of peppermint pieces.
  5. Remove dark chocolate from refrigerator and spread white chocolate in an even layer over dark chocolate.
  6. Sprinkle remaining peppermint pieces over top of candy bark. Press down to ensure they stick.
  7. Return cookie sheet to refrigerator to set for 30 minutes, until firm.
  8. Once peppermint bark is completely set, break by hand into small, uneven pieces.
