Unexpected Holiday guests will be over in an hour!  Ahhhhh!  No worries, you can have this done before they arrive!






This is SO MUCH easier than you think!  And, you probably already have all of the ingredients in your pantry!  

Peppermint Bark

Ingredients:
1 bag Chocolate Chips (I used Nestle's Dark Chocolate--10 oz. bag)
1 bag White Chocolate Chips (I used Nestle's White Morsels--12 oz. bag)
6 Candy Canes

Instructions:
Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Check the freezer to be sure you have room to fit the baking sheet!!

Un-wrap the Candy Canes and put them into a zip lock bag--crush with a rolling pin or meat tenderizer.  (Don't crush the pieces too fine!)

Melt the Chocolate Chips in a microwavable bowl.   
--Microwave 1 minute, stir
--Microwave 15 seconds, stir
--Microwave 15 seconds, stir (should be completely melted)

Pour the melted chocolate on the prepared baking sheet forming an approximate 8" x 11" rectangle.

Put the baking sheet into the freezer and freeze until very firm.  (about 15 minutes, but this depends on the temperature in your freezer)

TIP:  WAIT UNTIL THE CHOCOLATE IS FROZEN BEFORE MELTING WHITE CHIPS!

Melt the White Chocolate Chips in a microwavable bowl.
--Microwave 1 minute, stir
--Microwave 15 seconds, stir
--Microwave 15 seconds, stir (should be completely melted)

Pull the baking sheet out of the freezer.

Pour the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate and work QUICKLY spreading it to cover the dark chocolate.

Immediately after spreading the white chocolate, sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top and press gently.

Return baking sheet to freezer until completely firm (15-20 minutes depending on the temperature in your freezer)

When the chocolate is frozen, use the tip of a very sharp knife to break the bark into random pieces.

Store the bark in a covered container in the refrigerator.  SIMPLE!!!!

ENJOY!
