Place the candy canes in a large ziplock bag and seal shut. Then place the bag between two kitchen towels, and use the blunt end of a meat tenderizer mallet (or hammer) to pound the candy canes until the biggest pieces are no bigger than ¼ inch large chunks (it’s easy to overdue it and turn the candy into powder). You can also use a food processor to pulverize the candy canes into chunks, but then your kids (and husbands) would miss out on the fun of pounding away on the candy.
Microwave 1 package of bark in a medium size microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat at 15 second intervals until melted and smooth.
Toss the candy cane chunks into the melted almond bark and mix well.
Pour the mixture on to a table, counter or cookie sheets lined with was paper, and spread to an even layer.
Allow them to sit until hardened and dry.
When completely hard, break into bite size pieces.
Notes
Do not attempt to double the recipe in a single batch, due to how fast the chocolate stiffens up and dries.
