This is my December indulgence: Peppermint Bark Recipe! It’s ridiculously easy, and I am absolutely addicted to it. I have to give it away as soon as I make it or I would end up weighing more than Santa. It’s a great Christmas gift and fun to make with children. They love smashing the candy canes.
Ingredients:
1 pound dark chocolate chips
1 pound white chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
3/4 cup crushed peppermint candies, such as Starlight mints
Instructions:
Line a 13 x 9 inch pan with foil. Set aside.
In top of a double-boiler or in microwave (I used the microwave), melt dark chocolate chips. Spread into prepared pan. Refrigerate until JUST ABOUT set, about 15-20 minutes. The just about part is important as this will help meld your chocolate together.

Refrigerate until set, about an hour. Remove from pan and break into pieces. Store at room temperature.
