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 addicting 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…

Chocolate and peppermint Christmas bark is the perfect treat this holiday season to enjoy with your family and friends.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces high quality dark chocolate
- 12 ounces high quality white chocolate
- 1/3 cup crushed peppermint candy
- 1/3 cup green and red smarties or m&m’s
Instructions
- Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.

- Sprinkle crushed peppermints and smarties/m&m’s on top of the white chocolate while it is still melted.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator for 2 hours (or 45 mins in the freezer) until the chocolate hardens.
- Break the chocolate apart into pieces and enjoy!
I made this for Easter instead, using purple, pink, yellow and green smarties. It turned amazing! Thank you!
