These all look delicious, and they would make great gifts!
Thanks, Danielle! I agree… tasty little treats like this really do make such sweet presents around the holidays! 🙂
Substituted Crushed Oreos.. So good!
What a delicious idea… thanks for sharing!
Looks yummy, and easy to do! Was wondering how long the bark will stay good. Should it be stored at room temp or frozen?
Hi Kadie ~ it can be stored at room temperature, and honestly can last quite awhile because it’s just chocolate and candy canes as the ingredients. Hope that helps! 😉
I did this yesterday and it turned out fabulous. I had some left over peppermint bits and powder (I used my Ninja to chop the candy up..noisy but effective). I put the leftover in a sandwich baggie. Made my coffee this morning and added a spoonful of the bits along with my regular vanilla creamer and viola! Peppermint coffee. The peppermint creamer only comes out during holiday season so this is a nice way to have it year round now.
Ooh ~ yum! That sounds like a delicious little trick!! 😉
Great idea!!! What size mason jar is pictured? I want to make these for my holiday table!!! Thank you!
Thanks, Lisa! I used the 16 oz. wide mouth jars.
Have FUN making your peppermint bark! 😉
Omg I triEd it out and it was so good.💗💋
Yay ~ so glad you liked it!! 😉
Woo Hoo! Yummy!
Good afternoon. Would like to try these butnot sure how many jars you get from the recipe. Did you only get one?
I was able to fill two 16 oz. wide mouth mason jars.
