Chocolate Peppermint Bark

12 oz. dark chocolate chips  $2.34
12 oz. white chocolate chips  $2.34
8 peppermint candy canes  $.65

Unwrap candy canes and put them in a food processor and crush them into small pieces. Or, you can put them in a plastic Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Cover cookie sheet in aluminum foil. Melt the dark chocolate (either with a double boiler or in the microwave for 1 minute). Pour chocolate on cookie sheet and spread to an even thickness. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer. While dark chocolate hardens, melt the white chocolate. Stir in most of the candy cane bits, keeping about a quarter of the peppermint pieces to put on top. Remove tray from freezer. Spread white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer. Sprinkle on the remaining peppermint pieces. Place the cookie sheet back into the freezer for about 20 minutes. Once the bark is completely cooled and set, break into pieces.
