My peppermint bark tasted bland - advice?!

Question: I used Fisher white chocolate and crushed candy canes. Was it the brand of chocolate or the lack of peppermint extract?

I'd have to say the lack of extract. If all you used for the peppermint was the crushed candy canes, that wouldn't be enough for your peppermint flavor to come through.

Probably lack of extract. Or maybe your extract is old? I don't know if you just bought it or not.

My guess would be the lack of peppermint extract.

Peppermint Bark Recipe

Crushed candy canes, to yield 1 cup
2 pounds white chocolate
Peppermint flavorings, optional ( use about 2 teaspoons, to your taste)



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.

The peppermint extract flavoring is optional but I would agree with everyone else,that maybe you should have use it for the next batch.

I hope this was helpful, Take Care!!! :)
