Chocolate Peppermint Bark
If you’ve ventured far enough to get to this blog post I commend you. I mean, believe me, I know that Costco sells Peppermint Bark, it’s really good and really addicting BUT isn’t it nice this time of year to make things yourself?
This is the time of year when I feel inspired, especially in the kitchen. I want to create, experiment, and share with others whatever appetizer, meal, dessert, or beverage I have whipped up.
Now I know that not everyone enjoys being in the kitchen, we’re busy people with busy lives, social events, kids, and work. Hear me out though when I say this Peppermint Bark recipe is SO easy that I would be willing to bet if you try it you’ll agree that it was easier than driving to Costco, navigating the crowds, buying extra things you didn’t really need all to pick up their premade version.
So in advance of you giving this a go – you’re welcome! Happy creating!
