Peppermint Bark - {So Easy}

I decided to try something new this year for my 'offering' at holiday happy hours.  I searched Peppermint Bark into Google and of course, Paula Dean's recipe generated first in the results.  I can't believe I haven't made these before because it was very easy!

Below is her recipe with variations 

Total time from start to finish: 40 Minutes - 10 prep, 30 minutes freeze

Ingredients:

1 cup of Crushed Peppermint Candies - I used Candy Canes (7)

Peppermint Extract - 1tsp

6 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips (a staple I always have on hand)

1 small to medium Cookie Sheet

Parchment Paper, enough to cover your cookie sheet

Preparation:

Melt either in Microwave or Double Broiler style your Chocolate

Add Peppermint Extract - Stir until well mixed

I added 1/2 of the Crusted Candy Canes at this point - Stir again

Line Your cookie sheet with the paper

Pour out your chocolate mixture onto the paper

Try to spread evenly

Once spreading is done, sprinkle remaining candy on top

Place in Freezer for 30 minutes.

Assemble:

Chose a serving dish

Remove Bark from Freezer

Break into irregular pieces

Enjoy, and happy holiday-ing!
