Today im going to share with you my recipe for peppermint bark! YUM!
This is so yummy and perfect for the coming holidays, this would be perfect for a homemade gift! Wrap it up in a festive box decorated with ribbons and coloured tissue paper and you have yourself an inexpensive yet meaningful gift!
So lets crack on (no pun intended) you will need:
400grams of good quality white chocolate
10-12 candy canes or any peppermint sweets
1tsp peppermint extract (optional) just adds to the flavour
Method:
Line a baking tray with cling film / plastic wrap or you can use parchment paper or even just grease the tray
Next crush all your candy canes or sweets with a rolling pin you want it to be crushed fine but with a few bitesize pieces in there
Next break up your chocolate and make a double boiler ( a pan of simmering water with a heat proof dish above it making sure the water does not touch the bottom of the heatproof dish ) you want to heat your water on a very low temp otherwise it will burn the chocolate, melt your chocolate and add the peppermint extract
Once the chocolate has melted take it off the heat and mix in 3/4 of the candy canes
Spread the mixture out onto the tray and spread evenly to your own desired thickness
Finally sprinkle the remanning candy canes onto the top of the mix and leave to set at room temp for approximately 1 hour
Once set break up into medium sized pieces and enjoy!
Please follow and let me know if you have any requests.
