I got a request to post this recipe. It's not new, but I've done it for the past 3 years. Two full bags of chips will give you plenty for the season. You can make this quicker than it takes to heat the oven!
I got this on the back of the peppermint chip bag one year, but I'm not sure what the brand was the first time I made it.
Peppermint Bark
1 bag peppermint (green) chips - usually in your grocery store the week before Thanksgiving and stays through Christmas; otherwise can be found at Michael's year round
1 bag dark chocolate chips
1 C pecans, chopped
1. Place foil on a cookie sheet.
2. Place 1/2 the bag of each the peppermint and dark chocolate chips, mixing a little (make in 2 batches or save the other half of each bag for another time)
3. Place in an oven at 200 degrees for 5-10 minutes (you want them to be glossy)
4. Take a knife and swirl the chips together.
5. Sprinkle nuts on top.
6. You need to get the nuts to sink into the chocolate mixture. I have tried pressing them in with a spatula, but you can also just pick up the cookie sheet and drop it a few times to get them to sink in.
7. Immediately put in the freezer to harden for at least 30 minutes.
8. Break into pieces using a kitchen tool or the foil it sits on. Do not use your bare hands, it will melt.
9. Keep in an air tight container in the freezer.
You can east straight from the freezer as needed!
