One of my Mother-in-law Debbi and my favorite things to do around the holidays is to bake. Preferably with each other, the tv on and adult beverages in hand. A few nights ago we/she made Peppermint Bark. It was super yummy, so I thought I'd share the recipe.

Directions:
Place candy canes in a plastic bag and hammer into 1/4-inch chunks or smaller. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Combine candy cane chunks with chocolate (add peppermint flavoring at this point if desired.) Pour mixture onto a cookie sheet layered with parchment or waxed paper and place in the refrigerator for 45 minutes or until firm. Remove from cookie sheet and break into pieces (like peanut brittle.)

What a sweetie your husband is. That's a nice gift to get early too, right smack dab in the middle of the stress of all the holiday trappings. Good for you!
