- Remove from fridge and spread white chocolate gently on top. You want it to be cooled else the layers will begin to blend.
- Top with crushed candy canes and let set in fridge for at least 20 minutes.

Notes
- TO MELT CHOCOLATE Use great quality chocolate chips or chocolate melts. Melt for 1 minute, stir with a spoon, and then in 30 second increments until melted completely. You should until need an extra 30 seconds (if so much). Be careful not to burn the chocolate. IF, and only if you are having difficulties, add a ½ teaspoon coconut oil to the recipe. This will help tremendously with melting.
- These recipes serve a large audience and the peppermint bark and cranberry pistachio bark work great for gifts. They can easily be halved for smaller audiences.
- All recipes are vegan if using vegan chocolate.
- My caramel sauce recipe is coming this month!
