Peppermint Bark

It's Christmas time! And with Christmas comes Christmas baking! The first thing on my list year was to make this delicious peppermint bark. It was actually inspired by the peppermint Guiredelli Chocolate square.


Peppermint Bark

2lbs. white chocolate chips
about 1 1/2 c. crushed peppermint candy
1/2t. peppermint extract (optional)

Crush the peppermint candy. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave on high for about 2 minutes. If not done, heat for additional 15 seconds until the chips are just slightly melted. Add the peppermint extract and candy thouroughly. Pour over wax paper (or aluminum foil), and spread thinly and evenly. Allow bark to cool for about 30 minutes. When cooled, break into uneven pieces.
