Peppermint Bark

from stevesliva:

1 cup crushed Starlight Mints or Candy Canes
Peppermint Extract
12-ounce bag white chocolate chips
12-ounce bag chocolate chips
Two 1-inch square paraffin wax chunks
Wax paper
Cookie Sheet
Pam

Pam on wax paper on cookie sheet.
Melt wax chunk with low heat. Add white chocolate chips, stir until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon peppermint extreact and most of the crushed mints. Mix, spread on cookie sheet. Refridgerate until hard (1/2 hour+).
Melt wax chunk #2, add chocolate chips. Spread this over the peppermint layer and sprinkle with leftover crushed mints.

Refridgerate some more, then break it up.

Original recipe author suggests that the wax isn't vital, but makes for a better looking bark, and also to avoid freezing or refridgerating the bark, because that makes it look bad, too.
