Chocolate Peppermint Bark
Do you know why this is one of my favorite times of the year? Because Chocolate Peppermint Bark is sold everywhere!
I am not sure why I find it so magical but I have a very hard time passing on a piece. As a general rule, I do not like white chocolate. It’s too sweet. Throw some mint into the mix and get out of my way.
I prefer the look of having white chocolate on the bottom of my Chocolate Peppermint Bark but if you like it on top, just switch the two chocolates around. Either way will result in a beautiful candy that you may find hard to share with others. For that reason, I suggest making two batches.
