Peppermint is my favorite Christmas time flavor. This Peppermint Bark is a simple treat that you have to try out this season.
It's Christmas time and peppermint is in the air! Once pumpkin spice is gone it's all peppermint for me. Coffee, cookies, desserts, and candles!
I want it all and this simple Peppermint Bark is one of my favorite Christmas time treats. No baking required just melting and freezing. You can break it about in any shape or size and add it to ice cream, cheesecakes, top it on hot chocolate and whipped cream, or eat it as is!

Directions:
Step one: Get started by preparing a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step two: Next place your white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook just 30 seconds at a time string with a clean and dry spoon in between until fully melted.
- Tip: Use a good quality white chocolate. I like to use baker's white chocolate that was made for melting. I would suggest not using white chocolate chips unless they are of high quality.
Step three: Once melted spread it onto the parchment paper. Place in the freezer to harden for 10 minutes. Once sold remove from freezer.
- Tip: This chocolate is much easier to melt than white chocolate but I still suggest using high-quality chocolate.
Step five: Once melted go ahead and spread this melted chocolate on top of frozen white chocolate.
Step six: Next top with peppermint chips and return to the freezer. Freeze again for at least 10 minutes or until your chocolate is hard.
Melting Chocolate Tips
Melting chocolate can be a little tricky so it's important to use higher quality chocolate especially when it comes to white chocolate.
I bought a white chocolate bar that was made for baking and melting.
When it comes to chocolate I find it to be easier to melt and used a good brand chocolate chip.
I placed them separately in microwave-safe bowls and only heated for 30 seconds at a time and mixed. It only took about 1 minute each to be completely melted and smooth.
If you want to skip the microwave you could melt each separately in a double boiler instead.
