Holidays aka Holidaze!

I have been completely consumed with the holidays the last couple of weeks.  This explains the silence ensuing over my normally chatty blog.  However, I have been cooking, cooking, and cooking!

Here is a recipe for Peppermint Bark.  My father loves Peppermint bark, so every year I make it for him. It is a simple and delicious holiday favorite.

Peppermint Bark

16 0z white chocolate
1 tablespoon of butter
7 candy canes

Take the white chocolate and break it into small pieces.  Put a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil.  Place the white chocolate pieces in a metal bowl.  The metal bowl is an important detail.  Place the metal bowl on top of the pan of boiling water.  This will melt the chocolate. After the chocolate is melted, add the butter and peppermint. Mix together and pour into candy molds.  * If you do not have candy molds then follow these steps.  Take out one or two bread pans and line them with parchment paper.  Pour the desired amount of candy into the pans.  Place the pans on the fridge for an hour or until candy hardens.  Remove candy from pans and cut on a cutting board.

Note: this recipe can be adjusted for your own liking! Enjoy :)
