Peppermint Bark

1 (16-ounce) package vanilla-flavored candy coating (almond bark),
broken into pieces
24 hard peppermint candies

  1. Cover cookie sheet with waxed paper, aluminum foil or cooking
parchment paper.
  2. Place candy coating in 8-cup microwavable measure or 2-quart
microwavable casserole. Microwave uncovered on High 2 to 3 minutes,
stirring every 30 seconds, until almost melted. Stir until smooth.
  3. Place peppermint candies in heavy plastic bag; crush with
rolling pin or bottom of small heavy saucepan.
  4. Pour crushed candies into wire strainer. Shake strainer over
melted coating until all of the tiniest candy pieces fall into the
coating; reserve the larger candy pieces. Stir coating to mix evenly.
Spread coating evenly on cookie sheet.
  5. Sprinkle evenly with remaining candy pieces. Let stand about 1
hour or until cool and hardened. Break into pieces.

Makes 1 pound of candy.

Purchasing Tip:

Several brands of candy coating are available, and each melts a bit
differently. The white color varies, and when melted, some are thinner
than others. Make a note of the brand you prefer, and watch carefully
while it melts so you can prevent burning.

Chocolate-Peppermint Bark: Substitute chocolate-flavored candy coating
for the vanilla candy coating.

Drizzled Peppermint Bark: Heat 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips or
white baking chips and 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening until melted.
Drizzle over Peppermint Bark before letting stand 1 hour.
