Holiday Peppermint Bark recipe

Yield: 1 pound

1 (12 ounce) package NESTLE TOLL HOUSE Premier White Morsels
24 hard peppermints, unwrapped

Line baking sheet with wax paper.

Microwave morsels in medium, microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Place peppermint candies in heavy-duty plastic bag. Crush candies using rolling pin or other heavy object. While holding strainer over melted morsels, pour crushed candy into strainer. Shake to release all small candy pieces; reserve larger candy pieces. Stir morsel-peppermint mixture.

Spread mixture to desired thickness on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with reserved candy pieces; press in lightly. Let stand for about 1 hour or until firm.

Break into pieces. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
