Peppermint Bark

As requested, here is the recipe for peppermint bark that we made for the family Christmas party. Also, you can find the marbled bark recipe with oreo chunks over on our blog.

• 1 pkg. (8 squares) semi-sweet chocolate
• 1 pkg. (6 squares) white chocolate
• 2 tsp vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup crushed candy canes

Line the bottom and sides of a 9 inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, smoothing out any wrinkles.

Melt the semi sweet chocolate with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a microwave-safe dish. Immediately pour the melted chocolate into the prepared pan and tilt the pan so the chocolate makes an even layer. Place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.

Melt the white chocolate and remaining 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Immediately pour the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate and spread evenly. Sprinkle the crushed candy canes evenly over the white chocolate. Place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.

Remove the firm chocolate from the pan by lifting the edges of the aluminum foil. Peel back the foil and break into small irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
