Peppermint Bark (Winter Break)

Recipe:
*I do not have a recipe for this creation. I just kind of YOLO it, you know? But here are the ingredients and general guidelines I follow (it's pretty easy);
Ingredients:

• Organic white chocolate
• Organic dark semi-sweet chocolate
• Organic peppermint extract
• Rounded peppermint candies or peppermint candy canes

Equipment:

• Mallet
• Sauce Pan
• Parchment paper
• Rectangular cake pan
• Cutting board

Directions (general)

1. Lay out parchment paper to cover the cake pans surface.
2. Turn on stove burner and put on water about 1/4 full. Add bowl but make sure it doesn't touch the water. Bring to a boil.
3. Melt about a fourth of the chocolate in bowl above saucepan, add more chocolate after first parts start to melt to avoid burning.
4. Add a splash of peppermint extract and mix in over flame.
5. When smooth, remove from flame with oven mittens on (bowl will be hot) and pour into parchment paper. Use a spatula to smooth out chocolate carefully.
6. Put in fridge and wait about 20 minutes until set and cold.
7. Repeat steps 2-3 for white chocolate. The white chocolate will take longer to melt and burns a lot more easy. (it still works if burnt though, it's just harder to smooth over surface).
8. Once melted, pour over regular chocolate surface and smooth QUICKLY and GENTLY. The bottom layer will melt very fast, but once white chocolate is on, it will not mix. 
9. Take peppermint candies and unwrap individually and place in a small plastic baggie.
10. Put on cutting board and seal plastic baggie with no air holes. Smash until candies are desired size.
11. Sprinkle peppermint candies on top of melted chocolate. Cut chocolate into squares carefully. After each cut, you may want to wipe knife off so it doesn't drag the surface and mess up the chocolate.
12. Put in fridge and wait until it sets, then lay out on flat surface and break into pieces. Enjoy.
