Peppermint Bark

In a Microwave Safe Bowl add:
10 oz. Dark Chocolate Morsels
Melt in the Microwave,, in 30 second increments.
Mine took a total of 1-1/2 Minutes to melt. Stir with a Rubber Spatula

Take a Large Cookie Sheet, turn upside down.
I used Reynolds Non-Stick Pan lining Paper or you can use Parchment Paper (Spray a little cooking spray on the cookie sheet to help it stick) You could also use Silpat baking mats.

Using an offset Spatula
Spread out the Chocolate, to an even thickness
Refrigerate until cooled and hard: about 20 minutes.

In a Microwave Safe Bowl Add:
10 oz. White Chocolate Morsels
Melt in the Microwave,, in 30 second increments.
Mine took a total of 1-1/2 Minutes to melt.
Add 1-1/2 tsp. Pure Peppermint Extract
Stir with a Rubber Spatula
Cool for a few minutes

Use either Candy Canes or Peppermint Starlight Candies
I used the Starlight Candies, approximately 20-22 Candies
Place into a Ziplock bag
Using a Meat Mallet or a Wooden Rolling Pin crush the candies into different size pieces.

Using an offset Spatula
Spread out the White Chocolate, to an even thickness
Sprinkle on the Crushed Peppermint Candies, Gently push them into the White Chocolate to help them stick.

Place back in the Refrigerate until cooled and hard. About 30 Minutes.

You can cut the Bark with a knife or break them apart by hand which is more traditional.

Store in a container in the Refrigerator.

I like my bread with a little bit on softened butter. My Husband likes his toasted  then spreads on some butter.

ENJOY!!


(***FOOTNOTE***)

You can use the recipe below for Homemade Gluten Free flour mix
or buy a Pre-made Gluten Free Flour Mix
If your using a Pre-made Gluten Free Flour Mix check to see if it has Xanthan Gum,
if it does then you do not need to add Xanathan Gum to the Recipe.


Gluten Free Homemade Flour Mix for:
cookies, muffins, bars, brownies cakes, quick & yeast breads, rolls, buns and biscuits
I got this recipe at the Gluten Free Expo.


2 1/4 Cups Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Brown Rice Flour
1/4 Cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Potato Starch
2/3 Cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Tapioca Starch
3/4 Cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Sweet Rice Flour
1/3 Cup Cornstarch

Measure all the ingredients into a container. I used a spoon to lightly mix it together then put the cover on and shake well.
(Making sure its a tight fitting cover)

The original recipe called to add 2 tsp. Xanthan Gum
I did not do that, I like to add mine to each recipe individually.

I've checked the internet and I have seen that many people use this mix so I don't know who was the original person who made the recipe.
