I was reading “Real Simple” today, and decided I was going to make. Peppermint bark was one of the ideas they gave for Christmas gifts, and this was my test run. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the idea to blog it until after it was already made. Oops…

It’s super easy. Just melt the chocolate, crush the peppermints (I used candy canes) in a gallon bag, and then combine. I also topped it with pretzels to make it a bit different.

I look so scrubby, and this is a cell phone cam pic:
