Easy Peppermint Bark

I'm not a super baker. But during the holidays I do indulge my family and friends with an easy peppermint bark recipe. And by easy, I mean easy.

This year I purchased six bags of Nestle White Chocolate chips and five 1" round candy canes (the thick ones-they are usually around 59¢).

First, crush the candy canes. This is a fun job for a little helper! Next, simply heat the white chocolate chips in a double boiler over medium heat until melted. Take the chocolate off the flame and add the crushed candy. Then pour onto a cookie sheet (or two) and place in the refrigerator overnight. The next morning, you will have peppermint bark!

When the bark is ready, I break it into small pieces (about half the size of a Hershey's candy bar).
Next, I place six to ten pieces in a cello bag (available at any craft store) and tie with a pretty ribbon.

This is a great treat to have around, especially when holiday visitors come by!
