Twilight Valentines and Peppermint Bark

Amy over at Living Locurto recently heard my cries on Twitter

wishing I could find Twilight Valentines.

So what does she do???????

She goes and finds me some FREE downloads so I can

print my own Twilight Valentines!

So all you Twilightaholics out there,

head over to Living Locurto and print your

Twilight Valentine for your "Edward"

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Need a SWEET TREAT

to give your Valentine?

I've made this treat at Christmas time, and thought it would make a wonderful Valentine treat as well!! It's SO simple to make and was a huge hit with my family and friends.

Makes a cute gift packaged many different ways. I put mine in celo bags, with ribbon tied around it. You could also put them in a cute tin, box or even an antique cup & saucer.

Peppermint Bark

1 pound of white chocolate, chopped

1 pound of bittersweet chocolate, chopped

1 box of peppermint candy canes (11-12oz)

1/2 tsp. pure peppermint oil

Break up peppermint candy canes in a plastic bag, setting aside 1/4 of the pieces.

Next melt the bittersweet chocolate until all pieces are smooth, then add in 1/4 tsp. of peppermint oil.

Pour onto a cookie sheet pan that has been lined with wax paper and spread evenly. Chill approximately one hour.

Now melt the white chocolate until all pieces are smooth, add 1/4 tsp. of peppermint oil and 3/4 of the the peppermint pieces.

Spread the white chocolate over the dark chocolate use a spatula and spread to the edge of the pan.

Sprinkle the top with the remaining peppermint pieces. Chill until hardened (about 4 hours or overnight) then break apart into bite size pieces and serve or package into gifts. Will keep in fridge for 5-6 weeks.

Yum. I wonder if I could try this recipe with cinnamon candies and cinnamon flavoring? Or maybe leave out the flavoring - it may be a bit too much. Thoughts?

tj I bet that would work - use cinnamon oil/flavoring instead of the peppermint! If you try it, let me know how it turns out!!
