Peppermint Bark/Brittle

[Theresa Cunningham]

INGREDIENTS:
2 pounds white chocolate
30 small peppermint candy canes

DIRECTIONS:
1. Line a large jellyroll pan with heavy-duty foil.
2. Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave on medium setting for 5 to 6 minutes. Stir occasionally, until chocolate is melted and smooth.
3. Place candy canes in a plastic bag, or between two pieces of waxed paper. Using a mallet or rolling pin, break the candy canes into chunks. Stir peppermint into melted white chocolate. Spread evenly in pan, and chill until set, about 1 hour. Break into pieces by slamming pan on counter. :rudolph:

My sister makes this every year. The others that she makes are one with red hots and on with lemon drops. They are so good!!

I am making some of this maybe with 1# of white chocolate and 15 candy canes though I am the only one who likes it and I am diabetic so I have to be careful.


DO you have a pecan pie recipe?
