Things You'll Need:
- wax paper
- hard peppermints
- almond bark (chocolate flavored)
- almond bark (vanilla flavored)
- hammer
-
Step 1
In a microwave-safe containe,r put in the entire block of vanilla-flavored almond bark (or candy coating). Make sure that you chop up the individual squares into fourths so that it melts easier. Put in for one minute at a time and stir. It should be ready in two minutes and thirty seconds. Work on Step Two while it is melting. Don't let it scorch though; work it a minute at a time or 30 seconds at a time if you have a higher-wattage microwave.
-
Step 2
While it is melting, put about 30 to 40 peppermints in a thick sandwich bag and hit with a hammer. Have some larger chunks but make sure there is a lot of powder and tiny pieces as well. By the time you are done with the peppermints, the bark coating should be done.
-
Step 3
Put the peppermint pieces and powder into the bark coating and stir.
-
Step 4
Tear out a big piece of wax paper. Pour the peppermint and bark coating mix over the wax paper and smooth it with a rubber spatula. It can be as thick or thin as you'd like. Wait an hour and break into pieces.
-
Step 5
In a microwave safe container put in the entire block of chocolate flavored almond bark (or candy coating). Make sure that you chop up the individual squares into fourths so that it melts easier. Put in for one minute at a time and stir. It should be ready in two minutes and thirty seconds. Work on Step Two while it is melting. Don't let it scorch though; work it a minute at a time or 30 seconds at a time if you have a higher wattage microwave.
-
Step 6
Lay out another sheet of wax paper for you to dry the covered peppermint bark pieces after they are completed.
-
Step 7
After the chocolate has melted, quickly dip in the peppermint pieces and sit them over on the wax paper. Make sure they are covered in chocolate. You'll have to wait another hour or so for these to dry, and then keep them in an airtight container.
