Recipe #180: Peppermint Bark

I found an easy recipe for peppermint bark here and then Joanns had their candy coating 50% off so it was destined to get made! :) So easy!

You need:
2 bags dark chocolate candy coating
lots of mini candy canes or 12 ish big ones
wax paper

• crush the candy canes. i ended up putting them in a mini food chopper. it doesn't crush very evenly, but the little crumbs add a good peppermint flavor to the chocolate.
• Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 sec intervals. stir after each heating.
• pour candy cane pieces in chocolate and mix up.
• pour chocolate out on a long sheet of wax paper and spread around to have a thin coating. Mine was a little shorter then width of paper and maybe 20 some inches long.
• Allow the bark to cool and then break into small pieces
