Recipe please

Not much to it.

Step 1: Get all your ingredients.



Step 2: Melt almond bark and stir it up. I used the microwave.



Step 3: Add the crushed peppermint. I bought pre-crushed because I was feeling lazy. Stir them in.





Step 4: Add the crushed Oreos (I did do this myself :lol), and stir them in.





Step 5: Add the sugar specs and M&M minis.







Step 6: Put mixture in muffin pan. I used half the package of bark to make enough to put 2 spoonfuls in each opening.




Step 7: Refrigerate until the bark is hard again. Then place the pan upside down over a layer of paper towels (or whatever you feel like using), then tap the pan to get the bark out. Here is the finished product.

I love you, while my diet an abs absolutely hate you.

I have made peppermint bark the past two years, but this year my plan was to make saltine toffee with peppermint. I forgot to get the peppermint.

And speaking of peppermint extract, I bought some of that, thinking it might be good in coffee (like peppermint oil is, but the store didn't have peppermint oil). WRONG. It is so NOT good in coffee.

My daughter and I made some of this today. I used 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of peppermint to a whole package of melted bark. Put it on parchment paper and in the fridge.


Thanks for the idea. Might be a fun new tradition as it was quick and easy. Definitely a good way to introduce the kids to the kitchen.
