Peppermint Bark Candy

Pretty swirls of peppermint adorn creamy white chocolate over rich dark chocolate for a time honored traditional holiday favorite.

You'll Need:

1 c. Crushed Peppermint Candies (Candy canes)
1 lb White Chocolate
1 lb Dark Chocolate (Or 1 pkg Semisweet Chocolate Chips + 2 oz of Unsweetened Bakers Chocolate, Shaved + 1 T. Solid Shortening)

Melt the dark chocolate (or chocolate chips, bakers chocolate, shortening) in a double boiler. Melt the chocolate slowly or it will separate. Once melted and smooth, pour onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and set aside to harden. While the chocolate is hardening, melt the white chocolate in a double boiler, once melted add 1/2 of the crushed candy cane pieces. Pour over the hardened dark chocolate, while still soft sprinkle liberally with the remaining crushed candy cane pieces.

Let it cool complete in the fridge for at least an hour. Remove from fridge and break into pieces like peanut brittle.
