Peppermint Bark

I love this festive and chocolatey creation!  It's super easy to make (only 3 ingredients!) and fun to have around the holidays.

Ingredients:
- 1 bag of white chocolate chips
- 1 bag of milk or dark chocolate chips
- 8 candy canes

Directions:

Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  You can also use foil, but I found that tends to rip when breaking up the bark at the end.

Using a double boiler, melt the milk or dark chocolate, being careful not to burn it. 

Once the chocolate is melted, spread it on the cookie sheet, making an even layer.

Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until the chocolate has hardened.  While you're waiting, place the candy canes in a large ziploc bag and smash with a hammer or rolling pin until there is powder and small pieces.  Separate the larger pieces.  Next, melt the white chocolate using the double boiler method.  Once the white chocolate is melted, stir in the candy cane powder and smaller pieces.  Carefully spread the white chocolate mixture over the milk chocolate layer.  Sprinkle the larger pieces of candy cane over the top.  Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for another hour.

Once the bark has completely hardened, break it apart using your hands into irregularly shaped pieces.  Store in an airtight container and enjoy :)
