Peppermint Bark

Peppermint Bark 


Today at work we had a potluck lunch and a White Elephant Gift Exchange!  Since this potluck was tied in with this fun holiday gift gift-giving event, I decided to make and bring something that would fit in perfect for the holidays: Peppermint Bark!

Peppermint bark is easy to make and requires no baking.  It pairs very well with my Cracker Candy Recipe.  Place it in a pretty tin and it becomes the perfect gift!  If you are throwing a party at your house, you can also try displaying the peppermint bark in martini glasses and adding a candy cane to look like a straw.  (I thought of that idea at 7am before going to work, haha)  How cute is that!?!?
Recipe: Peppermint Bark
Ingredients:
  • 16 ounces white chocolate (I used Ghiradelli's white baking chocolate, which can be found in the baking aisle, instead of the candy aisle.  It is very easy to melt!)
  • A total of 11 candy canes.
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure peppermint extract.

Directions:
  • Line a baking sheet with was paper and set aside for later.
  • Place 9 of your candy canes in a plastic zipper bag and crush your candy canes.  (I use a hammer to crush the candy canes.  I recommend double bagging before you crush, because the sharp pieces can puncture the bag and cause peppermint dust to go all over your counter!)
  • Place 2 candy canes in a different zipper bag and crush them as well.  Keep these separate because they will later be sprinkled on the top!
  • Place your white chocolate into a double boiler over the stove and stir continuously until thoroughly melted.
  • Add in your peppermint extract and continue stirring.
  • Stir in your 9 crushed candy canes.
  • Once well mixed, pour your mixture onto the wax paper and spread out evenly over the entire baking sheet, using a spatula.
  • Sprinkle your remaining 2 crushed candy canes over the top for a fun look and texture.
  • Place your baking sheet into the refrigerator to cool and harden.  Leave in the refrigerator for 1 - 2 hours.
  • Remove your sheet from the refrigerator and break you bark into pieces.

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing
the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what
youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or
two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
