Pam’s Peppermint Bark
by Laura Roebuck
Last night I spent four hours making holiday treats with a friend. We invented this recipe in an attempt to imitate a Williams-Sonoma peppermint candy she had tried earlier in the week. We had a jolly good time and I'd love to pass on this recipe for holiday success. It may not be as homemade as Ralph's fudge, but it is so easy that you can whip it up in no time to brighten someone's day at your office or in your neighborhood.
Pam's Peppermint Bark
1 package candy making milk chocolate (we used Nestle's)
2 packages candy making white chocolate
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies
Melt the milk chocolate and stir until smooth. Add the peppermint extract, mixing thoroughly. Pour onto a lipped cookie sheet lined with wax paper and spread evenly on tray. Let cool. Melt the white chocolate and stir until smooth. Pour over the milk chocolate and spread evenly. Sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies while still hot. Let the whole thing cool, then break into pretty pieces and enjoy.
Many thanks to Pam Ozenberger for the idea!
