Ingredients
- 10-12 graham crackers
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 squares chocolate almond bark
- 4 squares white chocolate almond bark

Instructions
- On a cookie sheet, make a single layer of whole graham crackers to fill the entire pan. Break graham crackers and fill in any holes to cover the whole pan.
- In three separate bowls, melt peanut butter, chocolate, and white chocolate in the microwave, checking and stirring until each is fully melted.
- Spread melted peanut butter over the layer of graham crackers until fully coated.
- Spread melted chocolate on top of the peanut butter layer until fully coated.
- Drizzle melted white chocolate on top as a decorative element.
- Crush candy canes into small peppermint pieces and sprinkle across the top for a festive holiday touch.
- Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes to chill.

Notes
Home Chef Tip: Place candy canes in a sealed sandwich bag and crush by hitting with a rolling pin or wooden spoon to avoid little pieces of peppermint flying all over your kitchen!
