Peppermint Bark
Candy Cane Glass
Peppermint Bark is a festive and incredibly delicious treat. It is simple to make and requires only two basic ingredients - white chocolate and crushed hard peppermints (or candy canes). This scrumptious Christmas delight is inexpensive to make and makes an excellent homemade gift. To create an even more festive appeal, try topping the bark with Christmas colored sprinkles or candy confetti. Delicious! For another variation try using wintergreen (green) peppermints.
