Peppermint Bark

Peppermint bark is one of my favorite holiday treats and it's so easy to make. First get a package of candy canes and crush 'em up really good.

Next melt dark or milk chocolate in the microwave or using a double boiler. Spread it out thinly on a metal (not glass!) pan. Then melt a smaller quantity of white chocolate and drop it in globs on the first layer. Use a butter knife to swirl it out so it's evenly mixed. Finally sprinkle on the crushed candy canes and stick it in the fridge for 30-40 minutes. Use a knife tip to crack the bark into pieces and serve.
