PEPPERMINT ALMOND BARK RECIPES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill the bottom of a large pot with 3” water and bring to simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, then place a large heatproof bowl on top. Add semi-sweet chocolate and stir occasionally until chocolate has melted. Stir in extract. Pour into prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer with an offset spatula. Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes. 
• Over the same pot of barely simmering water, place another large heatproof bowl. Add white chocolate and stir until melted. Pour over set semi-sweet chocolate then top immediately with candy canes. Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes. 

Steps:

• Bring a shallow pan of water to a simmer. Add the white chocolate to a heatproof bowl. Turn the heat off and place the bowl over the hot water, making sure the bottom doesn't touch the water and steam can't escape (see Cook's Note). Add the peppermint extract and stir with a rubber spatula until the chocolate is almost fully melted. Remove the bowl from the pan and stir until fully melted.
• Dip the cookies one by one in the melted chocolate to cover completely, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the crushed candy over the tops. Allow the cookies to set and dry before serving.
