Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Yummy white chocolate and minty candies surely capture my childrens' interest in gift giving!
Step 2
First we have to melt the chocolate. On low heat in the double-boiler, and stir, stir, stirring.
Step 3
While those were melting, we unwrapped peppermints. When they were all unwrapped, we put them in a large ziplock bag, and Maddie got to bang on them with an icecream scoop. Twas very effective!
Step 4
When the chocolate was melted and creamy, we put in a half teaspoon of peppermint extract, and about half of our crushed mints.
Step 5
Maddie spread the chocolate over the waxed paper,
Step 6
and then sprinkled the top with the rest.
Step 7
She pressed the mints into the chocolate,
Step 8
then we let the bark harden. And tasted it, of course!! When it was done, she broke it into pieces,
Final result!
And now it was ready for a pretty packaging. Let's make sure we save some for giving away!
