We are counting down the days till Christmas. Yesterday, I made my first batch of pepppermint bark. The recipe is called Holiday Peppermint Candy, but it looks just like peppermint bark.
It's the same red and white candy they're selling in stores right now for outrageous prices. Considering a box of candy canes is 99 cents. I will hand it to the peppermint bark hustlers the almond bark is almost $4 after tax. When you are making it in bulk, come on it's not that expensive.
That's why I have provided you a simple and easy recipe, here called Holiday Pepppermint Candy.
Below the Peppermint Candy is the Peanut Butter Pie recipe!!! Eat Up!!
Holiday Peppermint Candy
2 lbs. white candy coating (white chocolate almond bark)
1/2 lb. candy canes or peppermint discs
Melt white chocolate over medium to low heat (I recommend low heat), stirring until smooth. While waiting, crush peppermint into very small pieces until well blended. Remove from heat. Spread wax paper on baking sheets. Spread an even mixture on baking sheets. Refrigerate about 8-10 minutes. Remove and break into small pieces. Store in air tight containers. Serve to everyone!
Peanut Butter Pie!
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 (8oz) pkg cream cheese
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup 4 x powdered sugar (the grocery store never carries this type, I just use the regular powdered sugar. It works!)
2 9" Graham Cracker Pie Crusts (I don't know why it calls for 2? Maybe in case you break one. I did the first time I made the recipe!)
1 pkg. miniature chocolate chips
Whip cream and sugar in one bowl. In another bowl, combine cream cheese and peanut butter. Then add powdered sugar. Fold all ingredients together. Then add chocolate chips. Pour ingredients evenly into the pie crust and refrigerate overnight.
This recipe taste better if you freeze the pie!!!
