Ingredients

  • 12 large candy canes
  • 1 lb white chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 1 lb semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

Directions

  •  
    1
    Line 2 baking sheets with parchment and set aside.
  •  
    2
    Put the candy canes in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin or meat pounder to crush them into tiny pieces.
  •  
    3
    Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler (a heatproof pan set over a pan of simmering water), stirring continuously.
  •  
    4
    When the chocolate has completely melted, remove from heat and pour onto a lined baking sheet. With a spoon or offset spatula, spread the chocolate evenly.
  •  
    5
    Sprinkle the chocolate with half of the crushed candy canes. Refrigerate until firm; about 20-30 minutes.
  •  
    6
    Follow the same process with the semisweet chocolate.
  •  
    7
    After your bark has cooled and is firm, remove from the refrigerator and break into pieces.

    Place in cellophane gift bags and tie with festive ribbons. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
