When the holidays get busy, it's nice to be able to make a quick treat to serve to drop-in guests. This fool-proof candy is easy to make and can be customized with your favorite chocolate or topping. I used semi-sweet chocolate chunks and then a high quality dark chocolate candy bar. If mint isn't your thing, you could replace the peppermint extract with vanilla and top with nuts instead.
Ingredients:
12 ounces dark chocolate
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Crushed peppermint candy
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Melt chocolate in a double boiler, simmering over boiling water and stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat. Remove from heat and beat in peppermint extract. Immediately spread thin onto parchment paper and sprinkle with crushed candy canes or other mint chips. Place in freezer 5 - 10 minutes until set. Break into pieces and store in an air-tight container.
