The obligatory holiday treat

Technically, it may be a few days late...but the truth is, there's never a bad time for peppermint bark.  I've been making this for years - it's one of the most popular holiday treats around, and by far the easiest one to make!

So, take those candy canes off the tree and make some today!

Peppermint Bark
1 (12 ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (12 ounce) bag white chocolate chips
candy canes (or peppermint candies), crushed

Line a baking sheet with wax paper.  Melt semi-sweet chips in microwave, stirring once, then pour onto wax paper.  Spread across pan evenly.  Place in freezer for 20 minutes.

Repeat melting process with white chips, then stir half of the crushed candy canes in.  Spread evenly over frozen semi-sweet chocolate.  Sprinkle remaining candy over chocolate, and place back in freezer for at least another 30 minutes.

Break into pieces and serve.  Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
