  Use the Peppermint Extract - This is delicious and easy

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I just made this for the first time ever, making peppermint bark. I used 2 3 oz. Lindt bars and two bags of Ghirardelli white... chips. I melted the chocolate in the microwave ratlher than double boiler. Just stir it every 30 seconds. After I put in the crushed candy canes, I added 1/2 tsp of peppermint extract and it came out perfect. I will be making this every Christmas from now on. Thanks Paula. My name is Paula, too.Read more

  Really Good!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  This is really easy to make and its great at Christmas time... I gave some away as gifts and served it with dessert at dinner... and it was hit! Yummy. I kind of added too many candy canes (didn't follow the recipe exactly) so i suggest you stick to the recipe guidelines. Using bakers white chocolate makes the peppermint bark very smooth and creamy (don't use chocolate that DOESN'T contain cocoa butter!) Read more

  A Christmas Hit

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I came across this recipe a few days before Christmas and I'm certainly glad I did. Fun, easy, and delicious! A big hit... with family and neighbors. Using Nestle's white chocolate morsels worked out great. No problem at all with melting. I didn't use peppermint extract or flavoring other than candy canes. Placing several apx. 1/4" pieces of peppermont to the top of the mixture after it's spread made the Peppermint Bark look even more appealing.Read more

  A Christmas Favorite

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  Peppermint bark is so easy to make and it's always a big hit with almost everyone. Adding peppermint extract is really... essential, in my opinion. I do not recommend using Nestle or Ghirardelli white chocolate - these are not made with cocoa butter at all. I recommend Lindt or Baker's white chocolate. Either of these brands will melt quickly and taste very creamy & rich. I sometimes add a dark chocolate layer to this recipe. In a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa) and then spread onto cookie sheet covered with wax or parchment paper. Refrigerate until solid then spread the melted white chocolate mixture on top and sprinkle a little more crushed candy canes on last.Read more

  A slightly less sweet alternative!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I loved this recipe but I found the white chocolate and peppermint to be very sweet, so I used about 1 cup of dried... cranberries and 1 cup of crushed walnuts with 1lb of white chocolate morsels. It was a delicious hit at the holiday potluck! I also found it better to make 1lb batches at a time so that the chocolate spread thinner and was easier to break into nice bit size peices.Read more

  Great and easy!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I used semi sweet chocolate chips on the bottom. I added a little peppermint extract to that. I then chilled in the fridge... and added white chocolate on top with the candy canes chopped up. I melted both chocolates in the microwave - 30 seconds at a time on 1/2 power and stirring in between. Much better results for the white chocolate than on the stove - easier too! Read more
