½ c. crushed candy canes

chocolate flavored almond bark

vanilla flavored almond bark

4 drops peppermint oil

Unwrap the candy canes and place in a zip lock baggie with candy canes between a dish towel and crush with a rolling pin or hit against the counter. Be sure to break up candy, but not crush too much. The big chunks of peppermint make the bark look pretty.

Line a cookie sheet with a large sheet of waxed paper.

Melt half of the chocolate flavored Almond Bark in a large bowl for 30 seconds at a time stirring frequently. To prevent burning stop heating them when things are mostly melted but a few chunks of chocolate remain. Stir and they will melt.

Pour melted chocolate in a thin layer on your wax paper. Measurements are about 10 inches by 24 inches. Work quickly because the candy gets hard fast.

Once the chocolate is set, melt half of the vanilla flavored Almond Bark in the microwave same way as the dark chocolate. Once it is all melted add 2 to 4 drops of peppermint oil and stir in. The peppermint is strong stuff so add slowly. Taste and add more if needed.

Pour the melted vanilla flavored Almond Bark over the chocolate layer and spread thin. Work quickly so the chocolate layer won’t melt through.

Top with crushed peppermint candy and allow to set. Then break into pieces and serve on a fun plate or plater.
