Felted Wool Gift Bags

I made these cute little gift bags for the girls teachers. I drew up a simple 3 piece pattern, sewed the pieces together, and embellished with lime green holly leaves and vintage rhinestone buttons. We then filled the bags with yummy treats...
like homemade peppermint bark. Mmmm
I don't follow a recipe per se, but this is how I make my peppermint bark:

Approximately 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp peppermint extract
8 oz white chocolate
Andes peppermint crunch (crushed candy canes would work also)

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a bowl with 3/4 tsp shortening in the microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir chocolate until melted and smooth, stir in peppermint extract. Pour onto a buttered - foil lined cookie sheet. Let harden. Meanwhile melt the white chocolate and a 1/2 tsp shortening in the microwave on high for 2 minutes, stir until melted and smooth. Spread over chocolate layer being careful not to mix the semi-sweet layer into the white layer. Sprinkle Andes peppermint crunch over the white layer, pressing the pieces into the white chocolate so they stick well. Cool completely, then break into bite size pieces.
Store in a tin in the refrigerator.
