Peppermint Bark

A Martha Stewart Recipe

Ingredients

Makes 2 1/4 pounds or one 11-by-17-inch sheet

2 pounds white chocolate, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces

Directions

Line an 11-by-17-inch baking sheet with parchment, and set aside.


In the top of a double boiler, melt white chocolate, stirring constantly.

With a chef’s knife or meat tenderizer, cut or pound candy canes into 1/4-inch pieces.

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.
