howdy. the peppermint bark extravaganza did not take place until tonight due to the wrong kind of peppermint extract. i had peppermint essential oil that i used for a sugar scrub and almost used that until i saw "FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY". yikes! plus, i wanted to wait and make it with my sister. here are some step-by-step shots..
find cute holiday-shaped cookie cutters and fill them with chocolate. yuuuum. and DON'T LICK YOUR FINGERS. otherwise, you will not get to step 2 because you will not stop licking! (or is that just me?)
find something heavy and beat the heck out of your peppermint candies. afterall, they are about to be apart of something very
bad delicious! then sift the powder from the bigger pieces and mix the powdery part in the white chocolate.
add white chocolate (which you add peppermint extract to). add the candy pieces. stick in the freezer and find something to do for 10 minutes so that you don't eat it before it's hardened. that would be
terrible yuuuuuummmmmy and gooey.
take a knife if you need help getting the bark out of the cookie cutter. i put them in cute little bags to give to people... after i had some to make sure it turned out right (always do that. it's the right thing to do)
and because i never promised to be chef, you may want to follow up with
someone who knows what they are doing for actual directions. it's not hard. you can do it!
i will now leave you with the cutest thing you've seen all day:

My Emily loves peppermint bark. We may have to try your recipe. And that is the cutest thing I've seen all day...except for that pic of her in the stocking!
