Recipe: Paula Deen's Peppermint Bark...

Why does Peppermint Bark taste so good? Why did my colleague make everyone some and why am I molesting it like it's crack?


Ingredients


Crushed candy canes, to yield 1 cup

2 pounds white chocolate

Peppermint flavorings, optional

Directions

Place candy canes in a plastic bag and hammer into 1/4-inch chunks or smaller. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Combine candy cane chunks with chocolate (add peppermint flavoring at this point if desired.) Pour mixture onto a cookie sheet layered with parchment or waxed paper and place in the refrigerator for 45 minutes or until firm. Remove from cookie sheet and break into pieces (like peanut brittle.)
