Barking up the right tree...

This time of year a big piece of Peppermint Bark is Perfect with Hot chocolate or in Cookies!
I usually just pick some up from Costco but I decided to make it myself...It is so simple I can't believe that I have never attempted it before.
I started by melting my favorite chocolate 8 oz of 60 % {dark chocolate} in a double boiler on medium heat. I poured in a 8 inch round pan lined with parchment. I allowed it to cool in the refrigerator for 20 min.
Meanwhile I weighed out 8 oz of Callebaut White chocolate that I got from Chef Bait
and crushed up approx. 6 candy canes. I melted down the white chocolate and let it cool for a few minutes then poured it in top of the harden dark chocolate. Sprinkled the peppermint chunks on top.
Refrigerate for 20 min and pop out!
I only got about 8 big pieces out of this recipe. I made Peppermint bark cookies.
