Holiday Peppermint Bark

Ingredients

1 12-ounce package white chocolate chips
24 hard peppermint candies

Instructions

Microwave chips in microwave-safe bowl (70% power) for one minute. Stir. Microwave for an additional 10 - 20 seconds, stirring until smooth.

Place peppermint candies in heavy duty plastic bag. Crush candies using a rolling pill or meat mallet. While holding a wire strainer over the melted morsels, pour the crushed candy into the strainer. Shake to release all the small candy pieces. Reserve the larger pieces that do not pass through the strainer. Stir the chocolate-candy mixture.

Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Spread mixture to desired thickness on prepared cookie sheet.
Sprinkle with reserved candy pieces. Let stand for one hour or until hard. Break into bite size pieces and store in airtight container.
