White Chocolate Peppermint Bark

by Eve

I love the holidays and I love baking so it comes to no surprise that I love Christmas baking. From the genius Martha Stewart (of course) here is the White Chocolate Peppermint Bark recipe – I hope you enjoy.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds white chocolate, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces (I used chocolate morsels which can be found at any bulk foods store.)
  • 12 large candy canes (Or many many small ones)
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint oil (Optional)

Directions

  1. Line an 11-by-17-inch baking sheet with parchment, and set aside.
  2. In the top of a double boiler, melt white chocolate, stirring constantly. If you don’t have a double boiler, use a metal bowl set over a pot of simmering water.
  3. With a chef’s knife or meat tenderizer, cut or pound candy canes into 1/4-inch pieces.
  4. Stir pieces of candy canes and peppermint oil into the melted chocolate. Remove from heat, and pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet; spread evenly. Chill until firm, 25 to 30 minutes. Break into pieces, and serve. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Happy Holidays!
