North Pole Mud Bars

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until light and fluffy. Mix in flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in half the chocolate (half of each, white and semi-sweet) and half the crushed peppermint candy.

Spread into a greased foil-lined 9″ square baking pan.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean. When you pull it out, sprinkle with remaining chocolate. Cover with foil. Let stand for 5 minutes or until chocolates are melted. Swirl chocolate with a small knife to give it a marble effect.

Sprinkle with remaining crushed peppermint candies. Cool in the pan until firm, then cut into bars.
