Peppermint Bark

I made this to give out to work for the holidays. The vice president's wife told me that it was the best homemade peppermint bark she ever had! So funny since it's only 3 ingredients. Super simple to make, I plan to do it every holiday to give out.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs high quality white chocolate, like Lindt’s (do not use chocolate chips)
• 1 cup of crushed candy canes
• 2 tablespoons peppermint extract

Directions

1. Place candy canes in a plastic bag and hammer into ¼-inch chunks or smaller.
2. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
3. Combine candy cane chunks with white chocolate (add peppermint extract at this point).
4. Pour mixture onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper and let it set.

NOTE: Instead of white chocolate, you can use vanilla CandiQuik or Almond Bark (found only at Wal-mart in CA). Then you can skip the double boiler and follow the package instructions to melt it all in the oven. So much easier and just as delicious!
