Peppermint Bark

2 pounds chocolate, summer coatings (any color or flavor)
1 pound peppermint chips

Melt summer coating with just enough heat to melt. Do not get "chocolate" too hot or it will ruin. The different ways to melt down the chocolate are: double boiler, electric skillet or heating tray, or microwave.

After melting the coating, put in the chips and stir until thoroughly mixed. Spread as thinly as possible on a cookie sheet covered with waxed paper, or parchment paper. The paper keeps the mixture from sticking to the cookie sheet. This recipe does 2 large cookie sheets. Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator or put aside until hard. Peel paper off the back and break into bite sized pieces.

The chocolate and made up bark do not need freezing or refrigerating. Just keep cool and dry and it will be fine for months.

Other combinations: 3 cups chopped pecans, 3 cups rice krispies
