    It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Laaaa de daaa de daaa!! It has been snowing all week and all I can think about is a hot cup of tea, Netflix and some Christmas crack... sorry I mean some chocolate and peppermint Christmas bark.

    This is one of new favourite recipes for the holidays. I first tried it last year when a co-worker brought it in to work. It was so crave-worthy and as soon as I was done, I needed another fix... which is basically why this bark has rightfully earned the nickname of "Christmas crack". When I realized just how easy it was to make, I literally grabbed my purse and was out the door to the supermarket!  Shortly thereafter, I had a new stash of bark at my disposal.

    Surprisingly, I am just getting around to making this stuff again this year. But, nevertheless, I am ecstatic to reunite with chocolate and peppermint Christmas bark. A big cookie jar full of this stuff just adds a little extra Christmas cheer in our home... well for maybe a day until we run out...

      I made this for Easter instead, using purple, pink, yellow and green smarties. It turned amazing! Thank you!
