Yummy! My son loves to help crush the
peppermint candy canes in this dish.
You'll need:
- 1 cup crushed candy canes
- 2 pounds white chocolate (don't go cheap...the better your chocolate, the better the bark)
- Mint extract
- Parchment paper or wax paper
Line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper. Melt chocolate over double boiler on stove...I pre-measure the chocolate and my son pours it in the boiler. Put extract (to taste) in melted chocolate gently stirring. Let your little one add the crushed candy cane to the melted chocolate. Let them help you pour it onto cookie sheet. Place outside (be careful if you have dogs) or in the refrigerator until hard.
Makes a great hostess gift in the winter - if you don't eat it first!
Great blog!
ReplyDeleteI love to make peppermint bark. It's not just for the holidays, either. You can also crush the round peppermint candies you find in the candy aisle at the grocery store. We love this!
