RECIPE NAME: MINT CHOCOLATE BARK CANDY

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 tsp. vegetable oil
1 tsp. peppermint extract
2 drops green food coloring

HOW TO MAKE THIS:
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Melt semisweet chips over medium-high heat (either in a bowl on top of a pot of simmering water, or in microwave). Stir until smooth. Pour melted chocolate onto wax paper in cookie sheet and spread to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Using the same method, melt the white chocolate chips with the oil. Add the peppermint extract and food coloring. Stir well.

Pour the white chocolate mixture over the chocolate layer and spread to about 1/8 inch thickness. Drag the tip of a butter knife through the layers to create swirls.

Refrigerate until firm (about 30 minutes).

Remove the bark from the pan. Peel off the wax paper. Using a cutting board and a sharp knife, cut into about 2 dozen bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
