Peppermint Bark Brownies
(Inspired by Cathie and Steve from Creative Juice!)

1 box of brownie mix (the kind with chocolate pieces is best)
1 bag of chocolate chunks (instead of chocolate chips, get chocolate chunks)
1 box of white baking chocolate
1 box of green and red striped candy canes

I used a square glass pan. Make the brownies according to package directions.

While it's baking, remove the wrappers from the candy canes and double bag them in Ziplocs. Smash down to mini bite sized pieces.

Remove brownies from oven a couple minutes early - DO NOT OVERBAKE! Sprinkle on the chocolate chunks all over the top. Let cool for 30 minutes. Melt white chocolate and drizzle over the top. Sprinkle on the crushed candy canes. Cut into squares BEFORE the white chocolate hardens.

At one party last year, people ate the bark off the top of the brownies and then ate the brownie part last. Other folks ate the whole thing. Very tasty indeed!
