Christmas Peppermint Bark

Last Updated on January 2, 2015

My Christmas baking extravaganza has come to an end. I downsized this year and only made a few delicious treats, including Christmas Peppermint Bark. I made this recipe last year, but decided to try a different method this time around. I used candy canes instead of peppermint candies and incorporated chocolate baking chips. I really enjoyed how this turned out. The chocolate and peppermint were a great combination and complimented each other. This is one of my favorite recipes to make for the Holidays because no baking is required. This can be made in a half hour and is extremely kid friendly. If you are looking for a real peppermint flavor, make sure to add the peppermint extract, it will awaken your taste buds! Christmas Peppermint Bark is perfect to fill goody bags and bring to Holiday events!

Ingredients: 1 bag white chocolate baking chips, 1 bag milk chocolate baking chips, 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract, 12 candy canes.
