Servings: 24

Preparation duration: 35 minutes

Cooking duration: 20 minutes

 

Ingredients:

7 ounces bittersweet chocolate

6 ounces peppermint candy canes, crushed

3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

5 1/2 Tablespoons whipping cream

17 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped

Equipment:

candy thermometer

baking sheet

sauce pan

bowl

aluminum foil

offset spatula

spatula

Cooking instruction summary:

1. Turn large baking sheet bottom side up. Cover securely with foil. Mark 12x9-inch rectangle on foil. Stir white chocolate in metal bowl set over saucepan of barely simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water) until chocolate is melted and smooth and candy thermometer registers 110°F. (chocolate will feel warm to the touch). Remove from over water. Pour 2/3 cup melted white chocolate onto rectangle on foil. Using icing spatula, spread chocolate to fill rectangle. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup crushed peppermints. Chill until set, about 15 minutes.2. Stir bittersweet chocolate, cream and peppermint extract in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat until just melted and smooth. Cool to barely lukewarm, about 5 minutes. Pour bittersweet chocolate mixture in long lines over white chocolate rectangle. Using icing spatula, spread bittersweet chocolate in even layer. Refrigerate until very cold and firm, about 25 minutes.3. Rewarm remaining white chocolate in bowl set over barely simmering water to 110°F. Working quickly, pour white chocolate over firm bittersweet chocolate layer; spread to cover. Immediately sprinkle with remaining crushed peppermints. Chill just until firm, about 20 minutes. If you let the bark go much longer than this- it will be very hard to cut neatly.4. Lift foil with bark onto work surface; trim edges. Cut bark crosswise into 2-inch wide strips. Using metal spatula, slide bark off foil and onto work surface. Cut each strip crosswise into 3 sections and each section diagonally into 2 triangles. You can also just break into large chunks and enjoy.

Food Joke

The car crash Rabbi Bloom and Father Michael get into a car accident and it`s a bad one. Both cars are crushed but amazingly neither of the clerics is hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, Rabbi Bloom sees the priest`s collar and says, "Just look at our cars - there`s nothing left, but we`re unhurt. You`re a priest and I`m a rabbi so it must be a sign from God. He must have meant that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace the rest of our days." Father Michael replies, "I agree with you completely. This truly must be a sign from God." Rabbi Bloom then says, "Look - here`s another miracle. Although my car is wrecked, this bottle of wine didn`t break. God must want us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." He hands the bottle to the priest. Father Michael takes a few big swigs and passes the bottle back to Rabbi Bloom who puts the cork back in and hands it back to the priest. Father Michael asks, "Aren`t you having any wine?" "No. I think I`ll just wait for the police," says Rabbi Bloom.
