White Chocolate Peppermint Bark Recipe

White Chocolate Peppermint Bark, the perfect Holiday homemade candy that will become a family favorite. It’s so easy to make and is a fabulous food gift too. Make a big batch for yourself and an extra batch for friends.

White Chocolate Peppermint Bark 

It isn’t the Holidays without adding homemade candy on the dessert table. I love the flavors in this bark as they are a mild white chocolate flavor with a hint of milk chocolate and peppermint. The candy makes a great hostess and teacher gift. Going to a party, bring some along for a potluck. These are an easy no-bake Holiday candy!

Ingredients

Step by Step Instructions

1. Crush the candy into small piece.
2. Melt the white chocolate using either a microwave or double boiler.
3. Pour the melted chocolate onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. ( The chocolate does not fill the entire baking tray) 
4. Sprinkle the crushed peppermint over the melted chocolate.
5. Melt the milk chocolate. 
6. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the crushed peppermint. 
7. Chill in refrigerator or freezer util set.
8. Cut or break into pieces and enjoy!   

Storage Tips:

Store the bark in a sealed container on the counter for 2-3 days. For longer storage, keep it in a covered container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, wrap the candy in wax paper and then in a freezer safe bag. To defrost, thaw at room temperature. Leave the candy in the wax paper so moisture doesn’t form on the candy.

As I said, this is a great candy for snacking and Holiday food gifts. Some other Holiday candy you may enjoy:
