Christmas Sweets - Peppermint Bark

Something sweet, something Christmas-y, wrapped individually or placed in a nice jar; this is the perfect Christmas gift for friends! Made so many of these this Christmas =)

What you need is simple:

Christmas themed cookie cutters
Dark and White cooking chocolate (I used >500g)
Peppermint candy canes, crushed (I used 12 regular sized ones)

How to make it:
  1. Crush candy canes
  2. Melt chocolate, pour into piping bag
  3. Place cookie cutters on a sheet of baking paper
  4. Pipe melted chocolate into the cookie cutters, tap lightly for chocolate to spread into corners
  5. Place crushed candy canes in a sieve and dust over chocolates, then sprinkle in larger pieces of candy
  6. Let chocolates set for about 5-10mins, gently push them out of the mould.

... and for a non-peppermint version
