Grandma Mary's Peppermint Bark

1 pkg white choc chips
24 starlight peppermints

Melt chocolate chips and stir until smooth (microwave or double boiler).

Put mints in a bag and break them up with a hammer. Put them in a strainer to remove big chunks. Stir peppermint dust into white chocolate and pour out onto foil. Sprinkle remaining candy on top.
