Dessert / Cookies: Holiday Peppermint Bark

From Jackie Schuler

Ingredients
1 cups (12 oz package) Nestle’s white chocolate morsels
24 hard peppermint candies, unwrapped

Directions
Melt morsels in medium, uncovered microwave-safe bowl on medium-high for 1 minute; stir. Morsels may retain some of their shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10-15 second intervals, stirring until just melted.

Place peppermint candies in heavy duty plastic bag and crush using rolling pin. Holding strainer over melted morsels, pour crushed candy into strainer. Shake to release small candy pieces. Reserve larger candy pieces. Stir morsel-peppermint mixture.

Spread mixture on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with reserved candy pieces; press lightly. Let stand until firm, about 1 hour. Break into pieces. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
