Peppermint Bark

Ever since I tried my first peppermint bark candy waaaay back in November (heh..) I’ve been wanting to try my hand at making some. For some reason I expected it to be difficult but the only hard part was not digging in while it was chilling.

This is such a great holiday candy and now that I’m in love with it, I have a hard time imagining that there’s anyone out there who wouldn’t love it. I’m already looking forward to next year’s batch!

    I love Peppermint Bark. My mom makes it every year, but usually just with white chocolate. I think this version looks even better.
    Congrats on your new little one! Hope all is going well.
