Can I just say that peppermint bark totally rocks my world!How can something so simple taste so good?
Yummy white chocolate together with crunchy peppermint candy canes makes for an awesome Christmas treat. Also peppermint bark is a great sweet to give as gifts, easy to make and easy to love. Just pop a few pieces in a little plastic bag and then tie with some pretty Christmas ribbon - voila! You can also keep the peppermint bark in an air-tight container in the refrigerator if you want to make it in advance.
So what are you waiting for get yourself into the kitchen and make some now!
Peppermint Bark
500g white chocolate, melted
8 peppermint candy canes, crushed (just place the candy canes in a plastic bag and smack them around with a rolling pin - lots of fun!)
- Mix together the chocolate and candy canes.
- Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
- Spread out the chocolate mixture on the baking trays. Allow to set.
- Break up the bark into whatever size pieces you want.

holey Red Deer this looks dangerous - dangerous in the way I could eat all of this one peice after the other until it was gone.
I think this would make a really cute gift if I could actually give it away and not shove it in my gob! LOL
I think I might make some of this actually.
yum! I must make some tomorrow.
YUM!!♥♥♥
