Notes

Be sure to check Expert Tips and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe.

Note 1: Almond bark can be used in lieu of baking chocolate.

Note 2: For a shortcut, You can purchase chopped peppermint. Also, candy canes can be substituted and chopped up.

Double Boiler Method: Fill the bottom of a double boiler with about ¾ to 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat until hot and steam forms. Place the top of the double boiler over the steaming water. (be sure the bottom of the pot is not in the water) Add some of the chocolate, stir to melt, continuing adding the chocolate until all is melted.

Storage Tips:

Store in a sealed container on the counter for 2-3 days. For longer storage, keep it in a covered container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, wrap the bark in wax paper and then in a freezer-safe bag. To defrost, thaw at room temperature. Leave the candy in the wax paper so moisture doesn't form on the candy.
