Recipe for Peppermint Bark

This is a #sponsored post on behalf of #McCormickBaking. I was compensated for this post but all opinions are 100% my own.

I love all the special treats and goodies during the holidays and especially the abundance of Peppermint Bark. I LOVE Peppermint Bark and it seems like every candy maker has their own version and all the version are oh, so good!!

Well imagine how happy I was when I found a super easy, super yummy recipe for Peppermint Bark using McCormick Pure Peppermint Extract. Peppermint Bark whenever I want it? YES PLEASE!

I actually made two different kinds of Bark, but I used the same recipe and just modified it a bit.

Ingredients

1 package (12 ounces) white chocolate chips
1 teaspoon
McCormick® Pure Peppermint Extract
8 drops
McCormick® Red Food Color
½ cup crushed peppermint candies

Instructions

Microwave chocolate chips in large microwavable bowl on HIGH for 1½ to 2 minutes or until almost melted, stirring after 1 minute. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in peppermint extract.
Spread on large foil-lined baking sheet to ¼-inch thickness. Add food color, drop by drop, over mixture. Using a wooden skewer, swirl color through chocolate. Sprinkle with crushed candies, pressing lightly into chocolate with spatula.
Refrigerate about 10 minutes or until firm. Break into irregular pieces to serve. Store in covered container at cool room temperature or in refrigerator up to 5 days.
Modification
: To make the White/Milk Chocolate Bark I melted one package of milk chocolate chips in the microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds. I stirred until smooth and creamy and then spread out on the foil covered cookie sheet. I then put in the refrigerator harden. Once cool, I then started with Step 1(white chocolate chips).

This recipe is really so easy I can’t believe I haven’t done it before. Because all of the items are pantry items you can stock up and then make it whenever you need a fast, easy treat during the holidays.

Enjoy!
