Another one of my favorite sources of recipes is the King Arthur Flour website. I also enjoy looking at their catalog and drool over all the fancy ingredients and kitchen gadgets.
The Peppermint Crunch Bark recipe was very easy. Basically, melt dark chocolate, pour, wait, melt white chocolate, pour on top of dark chocolate and sprinkle crushed candy canes. However, the tricky part was the timing, which was not described in detail in the recipe. My timing wasn't quite right and half of the bark separated into white chocolate and dark chocolate.
After a few more tries, this peppermint crunch bark recipe could potentially be a keeper for my annual Christmas treat ensemble. It is tasty and very pretty to look at.

Creamy Mexican Pudding
I came across this recipe from Cooks Illustrated when I was making the beef stew. In general I love "Mexican Chocolate" anything.
The recipe involved many ingredients but was very easy to make. Two things I did differently: 1)I accidentally used semi sweet chocolate instead of bitter sweet, 2) I didn't strain the pudding before chilling because it was already 11pm at night.
The pudding turned out rich and spicy but I think it would have been even better had I used the right chocolate. I guess I need to do this again soon!
