One of my favorite food combinations is chocolate and peppermint. Yum. Truthfully, I can’t wait to make this again … our test batch was quickly devoured by our tasters! But seriously, this is a fun and easy treat to make for all your holiday parties and to even box up and give as teacher gifts. Let the kids help so they can tell their teachers that they helped to make the goodies.
If you too like peppermint candy canes and chocolate, then this recipe is definitely for you. It’s perfect to serve for parties during the holiday season and it’s one of our favorite holiday treats. This Peppermint Bark combines a mixture of both white chocolate and dark chocolate. This is a really easy recipe that we wanted to share with you. It’s perfect for Holiday gift-giving. Yum!
