Peppermint Bark
 I love peppermint, and I love easy-to-make snacks.  Peppermint bark falls into both of those categories.  It also makes a perfect topper for my (soon-to-be-available) peppermint hot chocolate cupcakes.  This snack is also great with vanilla ice cream or just by itself. 
Note: When making this, make sure that everything you use is very, very dry.  Water will ruin the melted bark.
Ingredients:
- 12 oz almond bark
 - 1 - 1 ½ cups peppermint candies
 
Directions:
- Place the candies in a ziplock bag, and using a rolling pin or meat mallet (or other heavy item) crush candies.
 - Line a cookie sheet or baking pan with a piece of parchment paper.
 - Place almond bark in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Be sure the bowl is dry.
 - Melt almond bark in microwave 1 minute at a time on medium power. Stir well in between.
 
- Pour crushed candies into melted bark and mix well.
 
- Pour the candy and melted bark into the pan lined the parchment paper and spread evenly.
 
- Allow to set for several hours.
 - Once set, break into small pieces.
 
- Enjoy.
