Ingredients
- 1lb bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 4 full-size candy canes, broken into pieces

- Once the chocolate has melted, spread onto the baking mat to about a 12-inch rectangle or oval (it does not need to be a perfect shape). Top with the chopped candy canes. Tap pan a few times to remove any air bubbles.
