Holiday Peppermint Bark
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt the morsels on medium-high power for about 1 minute and stir.
Continue microwaving at 10 - 15 second intervals and stirring until morsels are melted.
If mixture is too thick, thin it with about 2 teaspoons of cooking oil.
In a plastic food storage bag, add peppermint candies.
Using a rolling pin or other heavy object, crush the candies.
Hold a strainer over the melted morsels and pour the crushed candies into the strainer.
Shake the strainer to release the small pieces. Reserve the larger pieces.
Stir the mixture together.
Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet and spread to desired thickness.
Sprinkle reserved candy pieces on top and lightly press down.
Let stand for about 1 hour or until firm.
To serve, break into pieces.
Store in an air-tight container at room temperature.
