Peppermint Bark Recipe
Great for homemade holiday gifts!
Ingredients
- 1 bag peppermint candy melts
- 1 bag white chocolate candy melts
- 2 cups crushed or broken candy canes
Instructions
- Place both bags of candy melts in a large microwave-safe bowl. I like using my 4 cup pyrex measuring bowl.
- Melt in the microwave in 15-second intervals, checking and stirring each time.
- When it's thin enough, spread into jelly roll pan.
- Sprinkle broken candy canes on top.
- Let it sit for a few hours before breaking apart.
I’ve even got an adorable free printable made my Kiki, one of my printable contributors. Choose the blank style or the ones already written in.

Oh, I tried the BBQ Rub, Cream Cheese Bread, Peppermint Bark and the Peppermint Sugar Scrub.

It’s a Martha Stewart product. You can find them in most craft stores.

I love this idea…thanks for sharing it!
I wonder, could you use Bailey’s Irish Cream instead of peppermint oil, it you wanted a grown-up version…? Or Rumple Minze peppermint liqueur or maybe Royal Mint-Chocolate Liqueur? I’m thinking it would be a good gift for hip cosmopolitan types or just to have out as favors for a party.
Thanks again!
