1-2 drops peppermint oil
1 box standard-sized candy canes
food coloring paste/gel optional or beet root powder mixed into a paste

Place almond bark in a large mixing bowl and microwave for 45 seconds then stir. Repeat until completely melted, then add peppermint oil (remember this is strong so just 1-2 drops). If using, add coloring next and stir.
2 packages almond bark, 1-2 drops peppermint oil
Pour onto a waxed paper-lined baking sheet or countertop and spread out until approximately ¼-inch thick.
Place candy canes in a zipper seal bag and let kids crush them. Sprinkle over the top and allow the bark to cool.
1 box standard-sized candy canes
Break the bark into small pieces and store it in an airtight container or place it in gift bags.

Notes

I wouldn't use liquid food coloring as it doesn't turn out very well. And if you are concerned about chemicals in food coloring gel/paste this can be left out completely.
