Peppermint Bark






During the winter, I love the smell of peppermint & enjoy eating all things pepperminty. This is a great recipe to make for parties, neighbors, or for yourself. I made this for my sorority christmas party and came home with just a little bit of bark. I made both semisweet chocolate peppermint bark and white chocolate peppermint bark.  I love white chocolate peppermint bark.

Ingredients:

  • 24 oz. chocolate of your choice (milk, semisweet, dark, or white)
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • crushed candy canes
Directions: 

  1. Microwave the chocolate in a microwavable bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring between, until melted. 
  2. When mixture is smooth and melted, add the peppermint extract. Stir completely. 
  3. Pour chocolate on a large foil baking sheet to about 1/4 inch thick. 
  4. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes. Press candy canes lightly into the chocolate using a spatula.
  5. Refrigerate the bark for 15 minutes until firm and chilled.
  6. Using a knife, cut the bark. (I try to cut it in little squares; however, it usually doesn't happen. I end up with some squares, a ton of triangles, and a few irregular sizes.) 
  7. Enjoy!

xoxo,
