Pinned It Did It: Christmas Bark

One word. YUMMY! This recipe was super easy and super yummy! I came across it on Pinterest and you can find the original recipe at  Intimate Weddings.

Ingredients needed:
1 lb white chocolate chunks or chips (I used vanilla flavored almond bark)
1/2 cup of crushed candy canes
few drops of peppermint oil (I accidentally left this out, but it still tasted amazing)

I broke the chocolate up and melted it in the microwave, using a glass bowl. Microwave at 15 second intervals, until melted. Lay parchment/wax paper out on a cookie sheet. In the original recipe they tell you to crush the candy canes in a ziplock bag with a rolling pin. I did that too, however be aware that it will poke holes in the bag.
I used original peppermint candy canes and Hershey's Chocolate Mint candy canes. Umm, hello yummy! Once chocolate is completely melted pour onto your parchment/wax paper lined cookie sheet and spread with spatula. Sprinkle with your crushed candy canes and refrigerate for 45 minutes. Then remove from refrigerator flip upside down on a cutting board and break into pieces. 
Makes a great little candy favor for Christmas! We included some in a gift for Ronnie's occupational therapist. Super easy to make this and so yummy! Enjoy!
