Preparation

Step 1

Melt dark chocolate chips in a double boiler until smooth. Lay out a large sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Spread out an even layer of melted dark chocolate over the parchment paper (about 1/8-1/4 in thick). Cool in the freezer for 20 minutes. While cooling, melt the white chocolate in double boiler. Remove the chocolate from the freezer and spread the melted white chocolate over the entire piece of dark chocolate. This should be about the same thickness as the double chocolate. Sprinkle liberally with the crushed candy canes. Gently push candy canes into the white chocolate, just enough so they won't fall off when cool. Return the cookie sheet to the freezer and let cool for 30 minutes or until hard. Break the bark into ragged pieces. Place in cookie boxes lined with red cellophane. Keep refrigerated for freshness.
