Peppermint Bark
Makes 20 servings
12 ounces dark chocolate
12 ounces white chocolate
8 peppermint candy canes, unwrapped and crushed into small pieces
- Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
- 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.
- Place cookie sheet in refrigerator to let dark chocolate harden while preparing white chocolate.
- Melt white chocolate in a saucepan. When melted, stir in three-fourths of peppermint pieces.
- Remove dark chocolate from refrigerator and spread white chocolate in an even layer over dark chocolate.
- Sprinkle remaining peppermint pieces over top of candy bark. Press down to ensure they stick.
- Return cookie sheet to refrigerator to set for 30 minutes, until firm.
- Once peppermint bark is completely set, break by hand into small, uneven pieces.
