I always make some kind of peppermint bark for the Christmas Holidays. This is the same recipe I use each year but this time I added M&M's. You can be inventive and experiment with different add on's. Next year i will try various add on's to make it even more special. I double the recipe for to accomodate how many gifts I need to give.

How To Make m&m's peppermint bark

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Melt the chocolate in the microwave for about a minute and then stir. Put back in the microwave if needed to be for 15 seconds. Pour the chocolate on top of the wax paper and spread evenly. Make thick layers. Put in the refrigerator while fixing other ingredients.

Step 2

In a food processor crush M&M's. set aside. In a food processor crush candy canes. I usually leave larger pieces not crushed completely mixed in with the crushed on top.
Step 3

In the meantime melt the white chocolate in a microwave add your peppermint extract and stir. Then pour on top of the dark chocolate that has been refrigerated. (This time I made it I swirled the white layer. NOTE; Make the layers thick. It will be a prettier presentation that way. Add crushed M&M's and peppermint to the top of both layers of chocolate by sprinkling on top. I usually freeze for 30 minutes and then break into pieces. Always store these in the refrigerator
Step 4

I doubled this recipe to serve 8 people. Merry Christmas to each of you.
