Peppermint Bark

This is one of my favorite holiday treats. Be sure to use quality white chocolate. That's a lesson I learned this past year. The cheap stuff doesn't melt nice or set up nice. It was almost crumbly even in its melted state. The Crisco is my own addition, it gives the chocolate a nice sheen.

12oz. premium white chocolate, melted
6 medium sized candy canes, broken but not crushed
2 tbsp. Crisco

Melt the chocolate and Crisco in a microwaveable bowl according to package directions. Remove from microwave and stir. Add broken canes to chocolate mixture and stir. Spread chocolate mixture onto a wax paper lined baking sheet. Refrigerate at least an hour. Break into pieces and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
