It's Christmas time which means it's a time for sharing and receiving. I love the "sharing" part in the Holidays the most. Every year for the past couple of year I make Peppermint Bark to give away as treats to the kid's teachers and friends. It's easy to make and if you love peppermint ,you'll definitely love this sweet treat. There are different variations of this recipe found online but I have found using candy melts easier than using white chocolate. The melting is so quick and you really can't go wrong with it. You can mix white and milk chocolate to make fancier looking peppermint bark. To me, simpler is better!
Ingredients
Wilton Candy Melts(white)-2 bags
You can find these at Walmart, Michaels or any other craft store
Peppermint extract- 1tsp
Bob's Candy Cane-1 box(12 candies)
Directions
1.Crush the candy canes in a Ziploc and keep them aside.
2. Using the double boiler method I melt the candy melts. (Boil water and place the candy melts in another bowl and place over the boiling water. Turn the flame low, and mix the candies till they are nice and smooth) The candy melts come with microwavable directions too, which can be followed as well.
3. Add the peppermint extract and mix well. Take the mixture off the heat.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the mixture over and smooth it out evenly.
5. Immediately sprinkle the entire top with the crushed candy cane pieces. Cover evenly and then refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
6. Break them into pieces and store in an airtight container. When storing use parchment paper to remove any excess moisture.It's that simple!
I love using festive tins lined with parchment paper or even holiday themed treat bags to gift them in.
Can't wait for next week to share them with all our loved one. Happy Holidays !!! Happy Snacking !!!
