Mmmmm Peppermint Bark!!!

Mmmm Bark!

Gather supplies ~

2 bags semi-dark chocolate

1 & 1/2 bags white chocolate

Peppermint flavor

Peppermint candies

Crush candy! 

(I know this hammer is not pretty but the candy is inside of a bag, so have at it!)

Pour 1 tsp of peppermint flavor and stir into chocolate chips. 

 I find 1/2 tsp. per 12 oz. bag of chocolate chips results in the best flavor & the most compliments!

Place chocolate chips in microwave, STIRRING EVERY 15 SECONDS!!!

This is very important, it prevents scorching of the chocolate!

(ok sometimes I let it go for 20 seconds :)

See how smooth it is & it smells so yummy.

Spread in a metal cake pan.

Place in the freezer till firm.

Should be firm to the touch, not frozen!

Repeat with white chocolate chips. 

Since we are using only a bag and a half, use a little less peppermint flavor.

***Before placing in the freezer again, add broken up peppermint candies & candy dust.  I press down a little on the larger pieces of candy, just enough so it stays in the chocolate. 

Place in the freezer till firm to the touch. 

** It should just be pulling away from the sides of the pan.

It actually comes out in one piece. I turn it over, leaning one end up on the side of the pan. 

I get my knife ready and ...........

 BARK!

 ♥ Place on a pretty plate and look how yummy it is and it smells so Christmasy!
