Here's another recipe for you, which I recently made. It is so easy, so pretty, and very good! I used the regular chocolate chips and really liked how this turned out, although I'm sure it would be equally good with the white chocolate.
Holiday Peppermint Bark
2 cups White Chocolate Chips -- or semi-sweet chocolate chips 24 whole peppermint mints -- hard candies, unwrapped
Microwave chips in medium, microwave-safe bowl on medium-high (70%) power for 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Place peppermint candies in heavy-duty plastic bag. Crush candies using rolling pin or other heavy object. While holding strainer over melted morsels, pour crushed candy into strainer. Shake to release all small candy pieces; reserve larger candy pieces. Stir chips-peppermint mixture.
Spread mixture to desired thickness on waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with reserved candy pieces; press in lightly. Let stand for about 1 hour or until firm. Break into pieces. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
Yield: 1 pound
NOTES : Package the peppermint bark in cellophane or in a clear jar, tie with a pretty ribbon or bow, and give to friends, family and neighbors. Also makes a great "office" holiday gift.
