PEPPERMINT BARK

These are awesome! 

Crushed candy canes, to yield 1 cup 

2 pounds white chocolate 

Peppermint flavorings 

Place candy canes in a plastic bag and hammer into ¼ inch chunks or smaller. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. Combine candy cane chunks with chocolate, add peppermint flavoring. Pour mixture onto a cookie sheet layered with parchment paper or waxed paper and place in the refrigerator for 45 minutes or until firm. Remove from cookie sheet and break into pieces.

Enjoy! 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
