Peppermint Bark

Ingredients:
20 ounces white chocolate, coarsely
chopped, divided
30 peppermint candies, crushed, divided
10 ounces dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
6 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon peppermint extract

Directions:
1. Line a 9x12 inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
2. Melt half of the white chocolate in the top of a double boiler over just barely simmering

water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid

scorching. Spread the white chocolate into the prepared pan. Sprinkle 1/4 of the crushed

peppermints evenly over white chocolate. Chill until firm, about 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate, heavy cream, and peppermint extract together in the

top of a double boiler over just barely simmering water, stirring frequently, until just

melted. Quickly pour the chocolate layer over the chilled white chocolate layer; spread

evenly. Chill until firm, about 20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, melt the remaining white chocolate in the top of a double boiler over just

barely simmering water, stirring frequently, until just melted. Spread quickly over the

chilled bark. Sprinkle with the remaining peppermint pieces; chill until firm, about 20

minutes. Cut or break into small pieces to serve.
