I saw this recipe for Christmas Peppermint Bark on this amazing recipe blog and decided to give it a go, obviously I am not good at anything domestic SO mine was done slightly differently.
I promise you its the easiest thing to make ever and tastes divine, so here it goes:
 |
| I first of all lined a baking tray with baking paper and got my ingredients ready: 1 bar of white chocolate, A pack of candy canes, A pan of water, Peppermint flavouring. |
 |
| I put half the candy canes on the tree then the other half in a plastic sandwich bag, got a spoon and smashed them to pieces! |
 |
| I put the water-filled pan on the hob, placed a clear glass bowl over the top and started to melt the chocolate. Be careful not to burn the chocolate! |
 |
| Once the chocolate had melted I tipped 3/4 of the bag of candy canes into the mix and added a teaspoon of peppermint flavouring then stirred it all in. |
 |
| Pour the mix straight onto the lined tray and spread out. Then I used the rest of the candy cane mush and sprinkled them on top. |
 |
| Put it in the fridge for about an hour, take off the tray and you have some yummy peppermint bark! I snapped mine up and stuck it in a mini lunchbox just for storage. |
I cannot tell you how nice this is! I'm such a fan of minty things so this was just perfect. I thought the candy cane would be really hard inside of the chocolate but it wasn't it was just perfect!
Do you have any Christmas recipes to share?

Looks sooooo goood! I love Christmas recipes, I always think it's the best baking time of the year. x
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea! I kept seeing this on american blogs and it looks so yummy! x
ReplyDelete:O I want to make!!! This looks yum, mint plus white chocolate is win win for me!! I saw some mince pie parcels today on Lorraine, just get a strip of filo pastry, butter it, then add a spoonful of mince pie mix, then fold it over to a trinagle, then repeat, and it makes like a mine meat samosa :D xx
ReplyDeleteWhite chocolate isn't my favorite, but it looks so yummy. I'll probably try this out. I really love baking and there're loads of good christmas recipes!
ReplyDeleteMaking this!
ReplyDeleteI made this yesterday! It's all gone now though, going to make some more tomorrow. SO TASTY!
ReplyDeleteI also made one last month with crushed-up Crunchie rather than candy canes-you should try it, it's amazing.
You got me ass soon as you mentioned white chocolate... Problem is once it's melted I'll eat it all before I've even realised I've done it
