peppermint bark
Have any leftover candy canes from the holidays? Even if you don’t, you may want to find some: peppermint bark is too inexpensive–and delicious–of a treat to miss!
What you need: chocolate (I prefer a big block of dark, from Trader Joe’s) and candy canes. Yes, that’s it!
Directions: Put the candy canes in a plastic bag and crush with a hammer. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Add the candy canes to the melted chocolate, removing it from the heat. Pour the mixture onto a greased cookie sheet. Refrigerate.
Give it an hour or so, pull out the cookie sheet and break the bark into chunks. Voila: there you have it!
There are a million variations you can try, but the results will be spectacular.

I love everything to do with peppermint and chocolate combinations … but I never thought to make peppermint bark. This is definitely something I’m going to try this year. Thanks!!
Tell me what chocolate you use and how you end up liking it. I’m hooked!
