Each year on New Year’s Eve, we gather up all of the
leftover candy canes that we collected over the Christmas season to make
Peppermint Bark. None of us really care to indulge on plain old candy canes, so
this is a good way to ensure that they do not go to waste. This year I didn't even buy candy canes for our tree and I still had enough from the gifts that we
received and the treat bags from school to make a batch of our traditional New
Year’s treat. My oldest is especially pleased with Peppermint Bark so she never
lets me forget to make it!
Peppermint Bark
12 oz. pkg. white chocolate chips
½ cup crushed leftover candy canes or peppermint candies,
divided
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Set
aside. Add white chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high
for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat until chips are melted and the consistency is
smooth. Stir in all but 2 Tbsp. crushed candy. Spread onto prepared pan.
Sprinkle with remaining candies. Refrigerate until hard. Break into shards and
serve.
