    My easy Peppermint Bark recipe is the only one you'll need. It only requires two delicious ingredients and takes minutes to prepare. Make a batch for everyone on your list ... I'm even sharing a free printable gift tag!

    About the Recipe

    Y'all have to try this amazing Peppermint Bark!

    This yummy recipe is one of my favorite holiday treats. It tastes delicious, but the best part is that it's sooo simple to make ... practically no effort required.

    You'll make this tasty Christmas recipe with two simple ingredients: white chocolate and peppermint candy. And it's ready in minutes. So make a few batches to give to friends and keep some for yourself, too.

    How to Make White Chocolate Peppermint Bark

    This easy Peppermint Bark take minutes to make with two simple ingredients: candy canes and white chocolate. And the basic steps are so easy:

    1. Crush the peppermint candy.
    2. Melt the white chocolate.
    3. Spread the melted chocolate on a foil lined pan.
    4. Sprinkle with candy.
    5. Chill until firm, then break into pieces.

    With such an easy recipe, you'll want to use the best quality chocolate you can find, of course. I used Ghirardelli white chocolate chips for my bark, but if you can find white chocolate in a block, that will work, too.

    If you do buy chips, buy the more expensive brand. Even if you do, you'll still have a gift that costs under $10 to make ... and I'm quoting NYC prices here, so it will probably run you less than $5 elsewhere!

    Make sure to make a batch of this easy recipe for Peppermint Bark for yourself, too, or you won't be able to give it away!

    How to Package the Bark

    This easy Peppermint Bark recipe makes a wonderful gift, and it's easy to wrap up.

    I packaged my homemade Peppermint Bark in a simple white box wrapped with twine and topped with a candy cane. Add a little tissue paper to keep the candy from moving around, too. You can get the printable Candy Cane Gift Tag here (there's a blank version, too!).

    Instructions

    • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

    • Sprinkle crushed candy canes evenly over chocolate.
    • Gently press candy canes into chocolate.
    • Place baking sheet in freezer for about 10 minutes, or until chocolate is completely solid.

    Can you put milk chocolate on top with the white chocolate?

    Hi, Sandra! Yes, you can add definitely a layer of milk chocolate on top, however it can be a little tricky to get them to stick together when breaking the bark into pieces. Let the bottom layer harden just enough so that the two layers won't mix (but not totally solid), then add the second layer. Once you've added the second layer and both are solid, let the bark warm up to room temperature (if chilled) before breaking it into pieces. Enjoy!

    The sheet pan I used was about 10 1/2 x 15 1/2-inches, but you can use any size pan. Just aim to spread the chocolate about 1/4-inch thick.

    I know I'm a bit late here, but do you recall what size baking sheet you used? I'd like to achieve the desired 1/4 inch thickness using the 11oz. of chocolate chips listed in your recipe. Thanks!

    Hi, Nicole! The sheet pan I used was about 10 1/2 x 15 1/2-inches, but you can use any size pan. Just eyeball the thickness. It doesn't have to be exact.

    Thanks a million! I just needed a general idea since I'm quite the novice in the kitchen! That's very helpful. Take care.

    You're welcome, Nicole! It's a really easy recipe. The main thing is not to overcook the chocolate, so just take that part slow, and you should be fine. Let me know how it turns out! 🙂
