Chocolate Peppermint Bark - Christmas created by Billy Green

Christmas candy - Two kinds of chocolate with peppermint chips. Yummy! So pretty, and great for gift giving. I have used chocolate bark (dark and white) with good results and it was less expensive, and hardens up beautifully

ingredients

12 ounces quality white chocolate (like Ghirardelli)
12 ounces quality dark chocolate (like Ghirardelli)
¹⁄₂ cup crushed peppermint candy (I use starlite)

directions

Line a 9x12 pan with parchment paper.
Melt the dark chocolate (use the method you prefer, either double boiler, or microwave - cook 30 seconds in a heat-proof bowl, stir and repeat until you have a smooth consistency.
Pour the melted dark chocolate on the parchment paper, spread the chocolate out until it is about 1/3" thick. You can do this by hitting the pan on the countertop repeatedly, or maybe you could use a spatula to spread the chocolate.
Melt the white chocolate, using the steps above. After the chocolate is smooth, pour it on top of the dark chocolate - trying to make the layers the same thickness. (it's best to do this step while the white chocolate is still very soft -- I've had them separate when I broke them into pieces, I think the layers "stick" together better if the white chocolate has not hardened).
Unwrap the starlite mints, or peppermints of your choice and put them into a heavy duty ziplock bag. Using a hammer or meat tenderizer - crush the mints then, while the white chocolate is still melted sprinkle on top.
Let the chocolates harden in the refrigerator for 2 hours, then break the candy into pieces. This needs to be stored in the refrgerator if you live in a warm/humid climate.

I used grocery store chocolate blocks, so not the fanciest, but the bark turned out great! Thanks

Great recipe! Just a quick trick; I sifted my crushed peppermint and mixed the peppermint dust into the white chocolate and sprinkled the rest on top, and it turned out delicious!! Nice lil crunches throughout the bark..
