20 Delicious Peppermint Bark Recipes You Have to Try This Holiday Season
The Holidays mean different things to different people.
Sometimes holiday memories include friends and family, for others, it’s all about food.
Peppermint Bark is a Holiday staple in many homes during the Holidays. It’s the perfect treat for kids to make in the Kitchen and makes great presents for neighbors and friends, and can also go beyond just chocolate and crushed candy canes.
One of my most favorite memories of our first year of marriage was candy making with Granny and Papa. It was like Santa’s Workshop but with candy. So many varieties of yummy goodness. As the years went on, the types of candy they made became fewer. But that doesn’t mean their tradition has to end. I can start it again with my children.
I think we are going to start with the easy recipes first. While I love being in the kitchen with my kids, it can be overwhelming to have eight little hands trying to help. At that point, there is usually more mess than beauty, but the memories are priceless.
