White Christmas

My absolute favorite Christmas Candy. So simple to make, and people always ask for the recipe. So, here it is, before you've even asked!

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Yields: 1 bark

Ingredients

•  white chocolate or   white  confectioner's coating (or combination of half each)
•  hard  peppermint candies or   candy cane

Directions

1. First of all, go wacko on some peppermint candies or candy canes: smash'em up into little tiny bits, either using your food processor or blender, or putting them in a heavy plastic bag and whacking'em with a mallet/rolling pin/bowling ball/go-go boots.
2. Melt some white chocolate or white candy coating (I actually use half of each to get a balance of good flavor and good setting/keeping).
3. Stir the peppermint candy into the melted white chocolate, then spread it out thin, about 1/4 inch thick, and let cool.
4. Break into chunks and store tightly covered.
5. Mails well, if it actually makes it to the post office.
