Gotta love this classic peppermint bark recipe. It is a holiday classic everyone loves. This homemade version is smooth, sweet and filled with chocolate and peppermint flavor. Serve this peppermint bark as part of your holiday dessert or pack in baggies to give as a gift. This is special enough to give as a gift at Christmas time. One of the best I have tasted!A few hints when making this bark: have Don't make the layers too thin have Take out of the refrigerator a few minutes prior to adding white layer to ensure bonding. have Works best with good quality chocolate. Look for white chocolate that contains cocoa butter.

Recipe Cuisine: American Recipe Category: Candies Yield: 6 Servings
Ingredients :
- 10 ounce(s) chocolate chips (Ghirardelli is really good; I use 60% cacao bittersweet)
- 1 pound(s) white chocolate chips

- 1/2 cup(s) crushed peppermint candy
Intructions :
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a 9x13-inch pan with foil, letting it hang over the sides. Spray the foil with cooking spray
- Spread the chocolate chips in an even layer over the foil
- Place in oven 5 minutes
- Remove and smooth with a spatula. Place in refrigerator until firm, about 20 minutes
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a double boiler
- Stir in the extract. Let cool a bit
- Pour over the chocolate layer. Work quickly to spread
- Sprinkle with the crushed candy. Gently press the candy into the chocolate
- Chill until firm
- Lift foil and shake off the excess candy. Cut into 2-inch wide strips. Chill in a covered container.
