Mookie chose Peppermint bark for her holiday recipe of the week.

Most of the recipes I found online used only white chocolate, but I think the bark with a dark chocolate layer is more appealing, to the eye and to the tastebuds.

1. Melt 1 bag of good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips.  We didn’t have a full bag, so I threw in some Scharffen Berger chopped as well.

2. Once chocolate is melted, pour onto a cookie sheet covered with wax paper.  With spatula, spread chocolate into a thin layer.

3.Place in freezer until firm, about 5 minutes.

4.Melt 1 bag good quality white chocolate chips.  Once chips have melted, stir in 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp peppermint extract, according to taste. Remove cookie sheet from freezer and pour white chocolate onto the chocolate layer. Spread with spatula.

5.Place candy canes in plastic bag, use rolling pin to break candy canes into small pieces.  You might want to do this before you start the first steps, the white chocolate can harden quickly.  Sprinkle peppermint pieces across white chocolate, press with hand so that candy will set with the chocolate as it hardens.

6. Place in freezer until firm.  About 15 minutes.

7.Remove from freezer and break into smaller pieces.  Try to save a little bit for friends.
