Peppermint Bark


This is a delicious and easy Christmas present to make for friends and neighbors.


Ingredients

1 cup crushed candy canes
2 lbs white chocolate


Preparation

Place candy canes in a plastic bag and hammer into 1/4-inch chunks or smaller. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Combine candy cane chunks with chocolate. Pour mixture onto a cookie sheet layered with parchment or waxed paper and place in the refrigerator for 45 minutes or until firm. Remove from cookie sheet and break into pieces (like peanut brittle.)

*We used Nestle white morsels and apparently that is not real chocolate and if you don't watch out your chocolate will turn into a big ball of sludge and will never melt. We looked it up online and you should try to use real white chocolate because the ingredients in the fake stuff make it harder to melt (not impossible because we did use it, but we had to throw out 4 cups of fake white chocolate!).
