CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT BARK - CHRISTMAS
Christmas candy - Two kinds of chocolate with peppermint chips. Yummy! So pretty, and great for gift giving. I have used chocolate bark (dark and white) with good results and it was less expensive, and hardens up beautifully

Steps:
- Line a 9x12 pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the dark chocolate (use the method you prefer, either double boiler, or microwave - cook 30 seconds in a heat-proof bowl, stir and repeat until you have a smooth consistency.
- Pour the melted dark chocolate on the parchment paper, spread the chocolate out until it is about 1/3" thick. You can do this by hitting the pan on the countertop repeatedly, or maybe you could use a spatula to spread the chocolate.
- Melt the white chocolate, using the steps above. After the chocolate is smooth, pour it on top of the dark chocolate - trying to make the layers the same thickness. (it's best to do this step while the white chocolate is still very soft -- I've had them separate when I broke them into pieces, I think the layers "stick" together better if the white chocolate has not hardened).
- Unwrap the starlite mints, or peppermints of your choice and put them into a heavy duty ziplock bag. Using a hammer or meat tenderizer - crush the mints then, while the white chocolate is still melted sprinkle on top.
- Let the chocolates harden in the refrigerator for 2 hours, then break the candy into pieces. This needs to be stored in the refrgerator if you live in a warm/humid climate.

Steps:
- Butter a baking sheetor use a silpat - I used a silpat and it is what I reccomend. In a medium saucepan, add the sugar and cook, without stirring but swirling the pan occasionally over medium heat to make a caramel. You're looking for the color of an old copper penny - this takes around 4 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter. Quickly stir in the almonds to coat them with the caramel. Pour the nuts onto the silpat, spreading to distribute without clumps. Let cool and then break to separate.
- Bring about 1 -inch of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan with a bowl fitted to sit just above the simmering water. We're making a double boiler here. Add the chocolate, stirring occasionaly so that the chocolate melts evenly. When the chocolate is melted, remove the bowl from the saucepan and add the peppermint extract, stirring to combine. Stir in the cooled almonds. Spread the chocolate - nut mixture onto the same baking sheet with silpat into a thin uniformed layer. Let sit for 5 minutes and then sprinkle with sea salt and holiday sprinkles.
- Chill the baking sheet in the refrigerator until firm, about 2 hours and then break apart into 1 -2 inch pieces. Store in a cool, dry place and stacked between a layer of foil or parchment in an airtight container. The bark will keep for up to one week, but the chocolate will change slightly in appearance since it is homemade.

DARK CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT BARK
Classic dark chocolate peppermint bark gets a new look by swirling dark and white chocolate together. You can also layer them if you wish. Be sure to use real peppermint oil (not extract) so your chocolate won't seize into a big clump. -James Schend, Taste of Home Deputy Editor
