Have you tasted the earth squares yet. :)

They are sublime, H and I had a thin slice :eek::D each last night. I haven't cut them into squares yet.

I've been lazy today and haven't done my daily baking. Ooops, I must catch up tomorrow.

Hey KP, I have made the White Chocolate and Cranberry Fudge. :inlove:

I then altered the recipe a bit and added milk chocolate instead of the white, and mixed almonds instead of the cranberries. Oh boy is it good.

I've made the white chocolate and cranberry fudge today as well. I'll have to try milk choc and almonds at some time. Also made some strawberry jam. My neighbour has given me the recipe for the mincemeat muffins which she brought around on Monday. I'll try them next week, tomorrow I need to do the marzipan for the cake and maybe Monday I'll try making the turkish delight.

All I need is the will power not to eat it all:eek:

There you go KP, one peppermint bark recipe. :tup:

• Peppermint bark or the variation for Crunchy Peppermint Bark!

Cook Time: 25 minutesTotal Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

12 ounces dark chocolate.
12 ounces of whitechocolate
8 peppermint candy canes

Preparation:
1. Unwrap the candy canes and place them in a food processor. Pulse on/off several times for 5-10 seconds each, until the canes have been crushed into small pieces. Alternately, place the candy canes in a large Ziploc bag and seal tightly. Use a rolling pin to roll/smash the candy canes until they are the size you desire.

2. Prepare a cookie sheet by covering it with smooth aluminum foil.

3. Melt the dark chocolate. Pour the chocolate onto the prepared cookie sheet and use an offset spatula or knife to spread it to an even thickness, a little more than 1/8" thick. The chocolate does not have to reach all sides of the sheet, as it will be broken up later anyhow. Place the tray in the refrigerator to firm up while you prepare the white chocolate.

4. While the dark chocolate hardens, melt the white chocolate. Stir in most of the candy cane bits, reserving about a quarter of the mixture to put on top.

5. Remove the tray from the refrigerator and spread the white chocolate in an even layer over the dark chocolate.

6. While the white chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the remaining candy cane pieces over the entire surface evenly. Press down very slightly to ensure they stick. Place the tray back in the refrigerator to firm up for 30 minutes.

7. Once the peppermint bark is completely set, break into small, uneven pieces by hand
