Yeah it’s two weeks till Christmas and if you are like me you will be making gifts for your family, friends and coworkers. I think I’ve put this up before but a redux at this time of year is a good thing. Just like rewatching a Christmas Carol is a tradition for me making peppermint bark is too.
All you need is two cups of white chocolate melting wafers and a box of dollar store candy canes, a bowl, a hammer and cookie sheet.
Take the white chocolate and set it to melt for two or three minutes in your microwave. As it is melting take the candy canes our of their wrappers, place them between two towels and hammer them into tiny pieces.
That was the fun part for sure. Once you finish the choc5should be all melted. Check by stirring it with a spatula. If it isnt quite then nuke again in ten second intervals till it’s done. Then tip in your crushed candy cane and mix well.
Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixture out into an even layer. Place it into your freezer for a half hour to form up, then break it into pieces and place in clean, recycled jars. Top with ribbons or bows and give out to your friends.
