December 13, 2022
As the holidays approach, there are so many sweet treats to choose from, but all are very time-consuming. Peppermint Bark- on the other hand, is a quick and easy process that only takes 3 simple steps.
Ingredients
- 1 12oz package of white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp pure peppermint extract
- 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies (peppermints, mints, etc.)
- Sprinkles (optional)
- Wax paper or aluminum foil
Directions
- First pour your white chocolate chips into a bowl and microwave in 30-second increments for 2 minutes, making sure to stir every 30 seconds, otherwise you risk the chocolate thickening. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Add in your peppermint extract.
- Next, on your foil or paper, pour out the chocolate and smooth down the chocolate with a spoon to your desired thickness. You can crush up your candy of choice and sprinkle it on top as well as other toppings like sprinkles.
- Refrigerate for about five minutes until hardened. Break into pieces, serve and enjoy.
The bark contains the perfect amount of peppermint to chocolate ratio and is great if you have a sweet tooth. It fits amazingly with a side of hot cocoa on a cool Florida winter day and is also the perfect snack to serve to family and friends!
