I realize blog viewing is much simpler without having to sign in each time to view or comment. So I am temporarily removing the private setting for this blog. I am still not sure how comfortable I am with it so I am going on a trial run.

Peppermint Bark

Why pay $10, $15, or even $20 for peppermint bark when it is probably the EASIEST thing you can make yourself.  It is completely fool-proof and delicious. 

Since I gave away my fudge secret, I thought I'd share this one with you too. Here is another quick and easy recipe and I get requests to make it all the time!

There are a few variations but here is the simplest.
1 bag of white chocolate chips.
Candy canes

Crush candy canes with rolling pin.  You can choose how fine you want them crushed. - Set aside.
TIP:  I prefer the mini candy canes.  They are easier to crush and have less mess.  Leave them in the little bags they come in, then you can just cut the bags and pour.

Lay wax paper on cookie sheet for easy moving.

Melt chocolate in microwave, stir until smooth.  Pour on wax paper.  Spread to desired thickness.

Sprinkle with crushed candy canes.

You're done!  The chocolate will set on it's own.  When it's hardend, break into pieces and serve.



Other variations:
  • Use semi-sweet choclate chips with a tsp of peppermint extract for an extra pepperminty taste!
  • Layer white chocolate on top of dark chocolate.  This can be tricky because the two chocolates can easily mix, but the taste is wonderful!
