I’ve used granola cereal & dried cranberries mixed with the white chocolate & drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let harden & enjoy.

If one doesn't like peppermint what else might be substituted? Thanks. Peppermint Bark Preparation time: 30 minutes Cook time: 2–3 minutes Yield: About 32 servings 12 peppermint sticks, or about 2 dozen individual peppermint pieces 2 pounds white chocolate, chopped Line a 13-x-18-inch cookie sheet with wax paper or place a similar-size piece of wax paper on the counter. Crush the peppermint sticks or pieces in a blender or food processor or place them in a freezer bag and crush them with a rolling pin or other heavy object to a fine consistency. In a microwaveable bowl, melt 2 pounds of white chocolate to a temperature of about 95° F. To do so, cook on high for 2 to 3 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds and then every 15 seconds to stir and check with a chocolate thermometer. If you don’t have a chocolate thermometer, note that the coating should feel just about the same as your body temperature. Remove the chocolate from the microwave and stir with a hard rubber spatula until smooth. With a small sifter, sift the peppermint into the white chocolate; put the larger pieces of peppermint aside. Stir the mixture to blend the peppermint. Using the spatula, spread the mixture about 1/4-inch thick on the prepared cookie sheet or countertop. Sprinkle the larger peppermint pieces over the entire sheet of bark and press lightly with an offset spatula to press the pieces into the white coating. Allow the bark to cool at room temperature; it should be firm enough to cut in about 15 minutes, but the time varies according to room temperature and humidity. If you prefer to break the bark into pieces, allow it to cool for 1 hour. Then break it into pieces by hand. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
