Peppermint Bark

So this recipe is super yummy and easy. I made the above almond bark pretty thin. Next time I will make it thicker and not spread it so thin. A Christmas classic!

Peppermint Bark

1 lb (24 oz) block of white almond bark

1 tsp peppermint extract

1 package peppermint candy canes

1. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.

2. Unwrap all candy canes and put them in a food processor. Pulse until the candy canes are small chunks to a coarse powder. If desired, remove bigger chunks and set aside.

3. Melt almond bark in a double boiler until fully melted, stirring frequently.

4. Mix candy canes and peppermint extract into the almond bark.

5. Spread mixture over wax paper. Sprinkle with reserved bigger pieces of candy canes, pushing them down into the hot mixture before it cools. Let cool.

6. Once cooled, break into 2-3 inch sized pieces.

Note-do not store peppermint bark in the same bag as other candies or else your entire stash will taste like peppermint.
