Peppermint Bark
I made this last night and someone asked for the recipe. It made me realize that I had never shared the recipe! It is so eacy and fun for the whole family!
Peppermint Bark
3 bars of Ghirardelli Semi Sweet Chocolate
3 bars of Ghirardelli White Chocolate
1 pack of peppermint candies or candy canes
Melt chocolate over a double boiler
Take a cookie sheet and line it with parchment paper. Spread chocolate flat across paper until smooth. Stick cookie sheet into fridge to cool and harden.
I have my children open the candies and place them in a ziplock bag. Seal the bag and on floor (our floor is stone, no harm no foul, if your floor is tile, you may want to do this outside), lay down a towel, followed by bag of candies, followed by another towel on top. With a kitchen mallet, have the children slowly smash the candies. The candies shouls be in small pieces and sandy. They love this!
This picture is for effect. Make sure you have a towel under and over candy!
Melt the white chocolate in the same manner and spread over the white chocolate.
Spread melted white chocolate over cooled chocolate VERY quickly as to not melt 1st batch of chocolate. Press scattered candies on top and refrigerate until hardened.
Tear into pieces and serve!
You’re right, the peppermint bark looks so easy to make, and fun too! Thanks for sharing #foodiechat friend!
