Holiday Peppermint Bark

Yea!  The Holidays are here and there are many things to make, starting with homemade peppermint bark!  This is so easy and so much better than store bought kind.  
I am not very good at writing recipes. I usually do not measure things.  So I hope this all makes sense:)

Ingredients:  
3 candy canes 
bag of dark chocolate chips (you can use milk if you prefer)
bag of white chocolate chips 
peppermint extract or flavoring
parchment paper
cookie sheet

Step 1: Use a double boiler, or create your own using a small pan and a glass bowl.   Melt the bag of dark chocolate chips and then add 1/2 tsp peppermint.  Place parchment paper on a cooking sheet.  Spread the chocolate over the paper to your desired thickness.  Place in freezer to let sit until hard.
Step 2: Rinse out the bowl or double boiler and melt the bag of white chocolate chips.  By this time the dark chocolate should be hard.  Spread the white chocolate over the dark and sprinkle crushed up candy cane all over the top.  Place back into the freezer.  
Step 3:  Pull out of  the freezer after completely frozen.  Break apart and place in a storage container and place in the fridge.  Or enjoy a few pieces of yummy peppermint bark!
