I, er I mean Santa, put Peppermint Bark in Hubby's stocking every year.

 

[cruellababy]

I love that stuff! I order some every year; and their homemade marshmallows are soo amazing too!

 

[daughtersrus]

I make this every year at Christmas time. It's so easy and pretty inexpensive but everyone that I give it to loves it!

Please do not buy this overpriced candy from WS. Make your own:

choc chips
white chips
smashed candy canes

I made mine with Ghiradellhi chips and it was better than WS's. I swear - my family had a blind taste test and picked mine!

 

[minniecarousel]

I'll buy some in the store on Dec.26th!

 

[cruellababy]

Good to know; I'll give it a shot!

I like Harry and Davids peppermint bark better.

This is SO easy to make! Why would anybody buy it? The easy recipe is on the side of the peppermint extract box.

I make it every year.

I make bark but in a pinch Harry and Davids works for me.

 

[JimFitz]

Does anyone have step by step directions???

You are just melting chocolate- pouring into a jelly pan lined with parchement paper, melting white chocolate mix in the crushed up candy canes and pour on top.

There is a trick to the pouring of the 2 chocolates - but I don't remember it something like it can't be too cold or they won't stick?? Anyone??

We use this recipe from the Nestle website. We substitute candy canes because they are easier to break up than the round peppermint candies.

I melt mine, and dip pretzel rods in it!!! Totally rocks, and makes a great impression with little work!

after diping the pretzel rods role them in crushed peppermints

the hard part is unwrapping all the candy canes. Well, DW and I make enough for about 40 people, between our two families. We also make toffee with a chocolate topping. Just brown sugar, butter and alot of heat and stirring. (Tbs of water also)
