I found this on the box of McCormick's Pure Peppermint Extract and decided to try it. I'm usually not a fan of Peppermint Bark because the balance of chocolate and peppermint always seems uneven. That being said, this recipe has a great balance to it and even looks great once finished. My boyfriend loved it so much he pleaded with me not to serve it at our dinner party so he could save it all for himself! My only concern with this recipe is that the bark can get stuck if there are too many wrinkles in the foil. I wonder if this could be fixed with wax paper? Let me know what works for you!

32 pieces (change servings and units)

Ingredients

10-12 ounces white chocolate baking squares
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
8-10 drops red food coloring
3 ounces peppermint candies (optional)

Directions

1
Line large baking sheet with foil. In saucepan, melt baking pieces.
2
Place unwrapped peppermint candies in a ziploc (you may need to reinforce it with another ziploc) and hammer the pieces until thoroughly crushed.
3
When the chocolate is nearly melted, remove from heat; mix in Extract. Gently stir until smooth.
4
Spread chocolate mixture on baking sheet, smoothing with metal spatula to 1/4 inch thick.
5
Add food color, drop by drop, over melted baking pieces. Using a wooden skewer, swirl color through.
6
Sprinkle with crushed candies, press in with spatula.
7
Chill until set, about 10 minutes.
8
Break into pieces. Store, covered. Refrigerate up to 5 days.

What a wonderful and easy candy recipe. I doubled the ingredients and used two 12 oz. bags of white chocolate chips. I melted the chocolate in a double boiler and used a gel food coloring to make the swirls. I also used Reynolds Release aluminum foil an had no problem with the chocolate sticking to the foil. I'm going to make some more of these to give as Christmas treats. Thanks for a real keeper, Emilee.
