Ingredients
- 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 4 red-and-white peppermint sticks or candy canes, 6 inches long (recommended: King Leo Sticks or Red Bird)
- 2 drops peppermint oil or extract
Equipment:
- A cookie sheet with sides, about 13 by 17 inches, lined with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat
Directions
Melt the chocolate. Place the peppermint sticks in a heavy, locked plastic bag and crush them fine by whacking and then rolling them with a rolling pin. They should have about the same consistency as crushed ice. When the chocolate is melted, stir in the peppermint oil. Stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the crushed peppermint pieces and spread the mixture out on the cookie sheet, about 1/4-inch thick. It will not fill the pan completely. Sprinkle the reserved peppermint stick over the top. Let set at room temperature until hardened, about 2 hours. (Or, refrigerate for 30 minutes to harden more quickly.) Use your hands to break into pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

My white chocolate won't melt at 86 degrees - I keep it in a pantry where the temperature has gone over 95! What's more, the lowest my cooking thermometer goes is 100. What am I supposed to use, a rectal thermometer? Emeril says to proof white chocolate at 110; hat's a little more realistic and when I took it to 110 then added more chocolate, the bark came out beautifully.

Livens up a holiday cookie plate, and very simple to pull together without any time.
