Peppermint bark is one of my absolute favorite holiday treats! Every year around Christmas I end up spending a good bit of money buying it from a local bakery near my house. A couple of weeks ago I decided to make it myself, and it was so easy (and a lot less expensive than buying it)! It's a perfect addition to any holiday party or just a great snack to keep in the house this time of year. You can use white chocolate, or for a different taste, try dark chocolate. Enjoy :)
12 oz. high quality white chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips)
5 regular sized candy canes, crushed
1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract
Break up peppermint candy into little pieces
Melt the chocolate according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Once melted, add the peppermint extract and stir.
Pour the melted chocolate out onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and spread out with a spatula.
Sprinkle the peppermint candy chunks on to the chocolate and gently press them in with yours hands.
Place in the fridge for 45 minutes or until hardened (put it in the freezer for faster results).
Break into pieces and serve or store in the fridge in an airtight container.

This recipe is very inexpensive and so easy. There are many varieties you can make. It took longer to unwrap and crush the candy canes than make it.

I have made this using both white and dark chocolate. I melted the dark chocolate and put it on the wax paper and let that set up, then mixed the candy canes, white chocolate, and peperment extract and spread on top of the dark chocolate. It gives the best of both worlds.
