Well well well...who knew, I'm Julia Childs!!! Hahaha....totally kidding. ( I am sure Burr is dying laughing right now and about to share the story about my whole Beef Stroganoff without flour recipe!) *
* Side Note - This was in say, 2005, when I just moved to Charlotte and I'm trying to be all "I'm a great girlfriend, I can cook, I am wonderful, please marry me!" - Anyway, I wanted to cook beef stroganoff, got the noodles, meat, etc. and realized I didn't have flour. Well I didn't want to go back to the Teeter (for the third time - stop laughing at me!) and Teeter =Grocery for those who don't know, so I decided you can TOTALLY make it sans flour, cornflour, etc. etc.....well let's just say lumpy sauce, overcooked noodles and meat do not equal a proposal!
Anyway, I can make peppermint bark without a recipe thanks to my good friend Jessica Carvajal and its amazing.
You need 3 items
1. Bars of White Chocolate (or chips**)
2. Peppermint Exract ***
3. Candy Canes all crunched up
Melt Chocolate in double boiler, still in extract until you can really strongly smell it, stir in crunched up candy canes. Pour on baking sheet that already has parchment paper on it. Put baking sheet in fridge for at least 4 hours. Viola!
** I live in the UK, the white chocolate chips are flown in from the states and cost a bazillion dollars, so bars it is. And, candy canes are imported thanks to Lee!
*** Ladies, this is EDIBLE peppermint extract, not the kind you use to lighten up the spots on your face - careful, no poisoning anyone!
Loving my yummies.

PS - How do you spell Stroganoff? My spell check can't even tell what I'm trying to say?! Hopeless....
