Peppermint Bark Snowflakes

Peppermint Bark is a great holiday treat that can be molded into your favorite holiday shapes. For this recipe, I used snowflakes.

Materials/Ingredients needed: 
  • six medium cookie cutters (any shape)
  • a medium cookie sheet
  • wax paper 
  • 1 14 oz bag of Wilton Dark Cocoa candy melts
  • 1 14 oz bag of Wilton Candy Cane candy melts
  • A bowl or double boiler to melt the candy melts
Directions:

To get started, line the cookie sheet with wax paper and place the cookie cutters on top. Next melt the Dark Cocoa candy melts according to the instructions on the bag. Once melted, pour the melted chocolate into each cookie cutter evenly. Tap the cookie sheet lightly on the counter to help the chocolate settle into the the cutter. Place the cookie sheet into the fridge for five minutes to cool.

In the interim, melt the Candy Cane melts as instructed on the bag. Once melts, remove the cookie sheet from the fridge and pour the Candy Cane melts into each cookie cutter. Once complete, tap the cookie cutter on the counter to settle the second layer. Place the finished Peppermint Back in the fridge for five minutes.

Once the five minutes are up, remove the cookie sheet from the fridge and ease the Peppermint Bark out of each cookie cutter.

Enjoy!
