This is a recipe from our cookin chick Vicki--
Winter Cocoa Warmer
Almond Bark Coating--Vanilla Flavored
6 peppermint candy canes, or peppermint stick
Put 3 of candy canes into a plastic bag, and crush with rolling pin until fine.Melt 1/2 the package of almond bark and stir in the crushed candy cane. Pour out onto wax paper, and spread until it is in a thin layer, (about 1/4") let cool.Break into small pieces. Can store in a plastic bag in freezer, or a tin.Place 3-4 small pieces into your cocoa cup and stir, the chocolate will melt in and give your cocoa a light minty taste!
The almond bark comes in a package usually about 20-24 oz. in size. It looks like a giant chocolate bar with squares in it. You can find it in most grocery stores in thebaking aisle.
Take 1/2 the package and break it in to chunks. Place it in a bowl and melt in the microwave. You want to microwave it for 45 seconds, and stir then 45 seconds and stir. Repeat this until you can stir it smooth. DO NOT overheat it or it will sieze and turn into crumbles.Usually about the 3rd time you heat it, it is soft enough to stir it until it is smooth.
