Peppermint Bark

Jeannine Gramstad from Newburgh, NY

These came out well except I used candy canes. My son helped by breaking the candy canes & sprinkling them on top of the chocolate. The second batch which went to work, I used white chocolate bark & baking white chocolate. My son added Christmas colored sprinkles to them along with the candy canes.
So Easy!!

Meredith Wright from RALEIGH, NC

This is the easiest holiday recipe and makes such a great gift for neighbors and co-workers! I also recommend mixing the peppermint into the chocolate directly or using the green and red candy canes for more color!

Holiday Peppermint Bark

Jean White from Villa Rica, GA

This is the easiest and best recipe for peppermint candy I have ever had. Cooking time is 3 minutes, and what a delicious candy to share with others during the holidays.

This is such an easy recipe to prepare, and is an absolutely wonderful addition to a holiday buffet table or gift tin of candies/cookies. The chocolate and peppermint flavors combine to make a sweet and refreshing treat.
Favorite Candy

Vanessa Sandidge from Ringgold, GA

I like to make this candy for Christmas. It is so easy and it is great for a swap item. It is also nice for Valentines Day. We like the white or milk chocolate.
soooo good!!

mary williams from denison, tx

Now there is no waiting for the holidays to enjoy this wonderful peppermint bark. This recipe is quick and easy and can be prepared anytime. I keep the bark in a closed container in the refrigerator for that extra umph!! Also like the idea of cinnamon candies. Thanks for such a great recipe!
Double the fun

Katy Basler from Maryville, TN

While this is a wonderful recipe for Christmas, especially for gift giving, I love surprising people with this treat at Valentines. I save left over candy canes or buy several boxes after Christmas when the stores are practically giving them away. They are perfect for making this peppermint bark; I find the candy canes are easier to crush than the round peppermint candies.
Mint Fun

OL Bej from ROYAL OAK, MI

Love this recipe-very easy. I add semisweet chocolate as bottom layer then the white. Also use red hot cinnamon for Valentine's Day.Can drizzle semi sweet on top for extra color.
so good

KELLY JOHNSON from Columbus, OH

This recipe is so easy and it comes out great. The first time I tried it, a coworker brought some in to work. We finished it in no time. I have made it myself since then. I buy the red and green candies to make them a little more festive for the holidays.
Holiday Peppermint Bark

Annette Ceravolo from Birmingham, AL

I have always purchased peppermint bark in the past for my family, especially for my son. He has always loved it. Now he REALLY LOVES it since I found this recipe. This is the only peppermint bark recipe I use. I don't buy it any longer. This is the first thing I make from my list of goodies that I bake for the holidays. Thanks for a great and easy recipe!!

Change of Pace

Carol Marek from SAINT JOSEPH, MO

I also used candy canes that came in green and mixed the two different colored bark in a gift container for an even more colorful gift!
so easy!

Anita Nielsen from BAGGS, WY

This recipe was great. I made it this year for Christmas, and it was sooo easy! And it tastes wonderful too. This is something I may just make now throughout the year!

sharing the joy

Wendy Zimmer from SAINT PAUL PARK, MN

we made this last Christmas for our family get-together, and shared the recipe recently (as well as the website) with my oldest daughter. We will make it again.
Better than I thought

Jessica Amphion from ZACHARY, LA

I'm not big on white chocolate or peppermints. But I made this for work and it is really good. You can over do the peppermints because some will fall off when you break it up.
YUMMY

Marianne Anderson from PALM HARBOR, FL

I like to try new recipes for Christmas candy and cookies. This was easy to make and it was gone within minutes. I've added it to my favorites.

Wonderful holiday treat

Jody Jody from NILES, OH

My whole family made these last Christmas and i made them for my family who lived away from me and one of those was for my brother who loved them. He died 1-29-07 and one thing I remember is him asking for the recipe!
Warning< this is addicting

Diane Roth from BOCA RATON, FL

I was truly addicted to this candy. My boss made it for me last Christmas. I love the texture and the mint. Of course, I've discovered, that you may use chocolate chips instead of vanilla for the mint chocolate taste. Either way, I'm in love with this recipe.
any holiday will do

Diane Juenemann from FARMINGTON, MN

I love this peppermint bark any time of the year, it's easy to make and tastes great! A nice addition to a cookie platter.
Not just for Christmas

marea kwiatkowski from SHERMAN, TX

This is an incredibly quick and easy treat to make. I've even made it with milk chocolate morsels for my favorite mint and chocolate fan. It tastes great and looks great!
Just Wonderful

Kitty Pataky from RIVERSIDE, CA

A fellow co-worker has made this for Christmas the last few years and I always wanted the receipe but she never gave it out. Now I have it.
Together Time

Tammy Dubuque from LA GRANGE, CA

This was a great recipe. My son and I made these, he had fun breaking up the candy. We are really enjoy peppermint bark, but it can be very expensive. We have made some of our own variations, with different hard candies and different chocolates.
Great Treat!!

Kimberly Gabrielsen from PALM BAY, FL

This is a delicious treat and great for giving as a gift.

I made this recipe last year at Christmas and have also made it for other holidays. My friends and family love the recipe as much as I do. I have shared this recipe with several friends.
Tax Relief

barbara mazzone from SCHENECTADY, NY

Recently retired, I'm working in my husband's tax office. I like to bring in something to pass out to his long-time customers, many who are senior citizens. They love this peppermint bark. I think having something sweet to eat eases the pain of completing their income taxes. Easy recipe-disappears in one afternoon.

Holiday Peppermint Barik

I usually ADD a small drop of peppermint oil... Not much to give it a little more flavor.

Holiday Peppermint Bark

Kim Phillips from MURRIETA, CA

So easy, quick and impressively pretty it added color to my "take to my neighbors and friends" holiday cookies. My daughter loves peppermint all the time and it sure will look good at Valentines also!
Peppermint Bark

Heather Nugent from Newfane, NY

About four years ago, I decided that a nice tin of cookies and bark candy would be our Christmas gift to my husband's side of the family (he is the youngest of nine, and his nieces and nephews have young children of their own). I made several batches of the peppermint bark, but melted the chips with 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil. It turned out great! I "sampled" every batch that I made because it tasted so good! This past Christmas, I made the bark with the green colored mint candies instead of the red, just for something different. I will be sure to make this bark more often, since it is such a big hit!
Peppermint Bark

J. E. Cash from ARLINGTON, MA

This is one of those recipes that is great during the winter holidays and for Valentine's Day. I'm thinking of using some green and white mints and using for St. Patrick's Day as that's a relatively major holiday in this area. Easy, relatively inexpensive, delicious for gift giving.
Excellent gift at christmas time

jenny iannaccone from las vegas, NV

It was greatly enjoyed when I made this for the first time this past christmas! It was so enjoyable by all the other teachers at the school where I work. I will continue every christmas to make this for people! This is great thank you!
Great gift

Elizabeth Wilson from TAMPA, FL

This was such an easy and inexpensive recipe. I made it for small gifts, and everyone LOVED it. I am definitely going to make lots more next year!
Pepperment Bark

BETTY RUNKLE from READING, PA

I used this recipe for Christmas and it was wonderful - everyone loved it. I am going to use it again for Valentine's Day. In the stores this candy is very expensive - this recipe is just as good. It's a keeper.
