Diana says
Substituted Crushed Oreos.. So good!
Kadie says
Looks yummy, and easy to do! Was wondering how long the bark will stay good. Should it be stored at room temp or frozen?
Heidi says
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! 😉
Diana D says
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.
Heidi says
Ooh ~ yum! That sounds like a delicious little trick!! 😉
Lisa says
Great idea!!! What size mason jar is pictured? I want to make these for my holiday table!!! Thank you!
