Candy Cane Christmas

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.
