This was so easy to make. Used up all the left over candy canes. I will make again.

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!!

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!

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

by V. Vanessa , Ringgold, GA on Dec. 2009

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!!

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

by K. Katy , Maryville, TN on Feb. 2009

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.

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.
