Just made this and have it cooling on the counter. My daughter and I used milk chocolate almond bark for the first layer and white chocolate bark for the second. We used Hershey’s chocolate/peppermint candy canes crushed up between layers and on top. Can’t wait to taste the end result! Merry Christmas!

I’m afraid food coloring will cause the chocolate to clot but you can just leave the coloring out altogether and it will still be great!

This sounds really yummy. I love peppermint but alas the hubby does not. He can smell it two miles away and turns around. HA!!!

Thanks for posting this, Christy. I didn’t know how to do bark so I am glad you put this up! It’s easy but I still didn’t know. I can’t wait to make it!!!

I used to make one similar to this that also used Andes candies in the bark. I can’t for the life of me find that recipe, but this is a good start! Thanks for such great recipes Christy!

I finally got around to making this recipe this year! It was yummy! Almost like a crunchy York peppermint patty! I used a little more peppermint oil (2 drops per layer) and fewer candy canes- 8 to be exact, which I found to be more than enough! Breaking up the candy canes was the most labor intensive part of the process! I also did a layer of chocolate and a layer of vanilla and skipped the dye.

I’m curious why the liquid food coloring will “mess up” the chocolate? I didn’t have any problem with mine. I made this last week or so, stirred the crushed peppermint into the melted bark, added 1 tsp peppermint extract (much easier to find, and there’s a recipe for peppermint bark on the box, too! LOL) and spread it out in my pan… THEN added a drop here or there of red food coloring (liquid, gasp!) and swirled it. It didn’t seem to mess anything up, but maybe I don’t have a clue.

Oh and those Wilton chips are EXPENSIVE! I saw them in the store and freaked.
