Peppermint Bark Candy

Recipe Information
Description: Super Simple, Very Quick & Keeps Well Source: Sheila Kosko Serves/Makes:1 lb. Ingredients 1 package of white candy coating (usually comes in a 1 lb (.5 kg). block in the chocolate chip section) 6 candy canes Preparation Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Crush candy canes into very small pieces. Melt candy coating in a bowl in microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir and microwave another 30 seconds. Pour crushed candy canes into melted coating and stir quickly only 'til candy canes are coated. Pour the mixture onto the wax paper. Spread into a semi-thin layer and let cool. When the mixture is firm, break into pieces. Place in air tight containers or baggies. Comments This is a variation of "Almond Bark" candy. You can substitute white chocolate for the candy coating if you prefer. Of course, the candy coating is less expensive. I have found the 1 lb. package at Dollar General for $2. The candy hardens pretty quickly but if you want it SUPER FAST, put it in the frige or freezer for a few minutes. *IMPORTANT: Make sure that when you make this that your spoon and bowl are completely dry...or the candy will not not melt properly* I didn't read the package directions once and tried to add food coloring and had to throw it all away!
