A holiday tradition that I do with my kids every year is to make Easy Peppermint Bark. They gift it to their teachers, coaches, and friends that help and support them. This Easy Peppermint Bark is a special and delicious way to say thank you.
It’s also my very favorite holiday treat, so this works out in more ways than one. 😉
Easy Peppermint Bark is just so deliciously amazing! Milk chocolate and white chocolate with crunchy peppermint sprinkled on top. The best part is when you take a bite, and it’s so crisp and crunchy.
