I don't know if they freeze well but I think they are easy to make...boyfriend's aunt makes these turtle things which is basically two pretzels with a rolo melted in between them. Fucking good!

This was my signature thing I would make. It's cool because it's easy and part of the process requires you to freeze them. They do freeze well and are a favorite. Buckeyes.

lemme find my recipe for peppermint bark...omg it was good!

**Bye You!** · 12-02-2012, 05:41 PM

here it is:

12 ounces quality white chocolate (like Ghirardelli)
12 ounces quality dark chocolate (like Ghirardelli)
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy (I use starlite)
Directions:

1
Line a 9x12 pan with parchment paper.
2
Melt the dark chocolate (use the method you prefer, either double boiler, or microwave - cook 30 seconds in a heat-proof bowl, stir and repeat until you have a smooth consistency.
3
Pour the melted dark chocolate on the parchment paper, spread the chocolate out until it is about 1/3" thick. You can do this by hitting the pan on the countertop repeatedly, or maybe you could use a spatula to spread the chocolate.
4
Melt the white chocolate, using the steps above. After the chocolate is smooth, pour it on top of the dark chocolate - trying to make the layers the same thickness. (it's best to do this step while the white chocolate is still very soft -- I've had them separate when I broke them into pieces, I think the layers "stick" together better if the white chocolate has not hardened).
5
Unwrap the starlite mints, or peppermints of your choice and put them into a heavy duty ziplock bag. Using a hammer or meat tenderizer - crush the mints then, while the white chocolate is still melted sprinkle on top.
6
Let the chocolates harden in the refrigerator for 2 hours, then break the candy into pieces. This needs to be stored in the refrgerator if you live in a warm/humid climate.

the ghirardelli chocolate expensive, but worth it! delicious!

Yes, I believe so, it's powdered sugar.
