So funny story about Stepson.  When he was a little guy, I introduced him to homemade peppermint bark.  As many kids do, he mashed words and meaning.  So peppermint bark became associated with tree bark and the flavor of mint.  Any time he ate something or asked for something mint, he asked for “tree bark.”  Fortunately, I could translate.  He is not my genetic offspring, but I certainly passed along my obsession with peppermint bark!

I’ve seen this made with either just the chocolate, just the white chocolate, or both. I personally like both. I like using the dark morsels from Enjoy Life. They are hands down my favorite.

Be sure to add 1-2 DROPS of Peppermint Essential Oil to each chocolate layer because any more will be too much. Trust me.

I laugh at the irony that my favorite part of making this is using a meat tenderizer to crush the mint candies (especially since this is vegan). If you are having a bad day, taking out your frustrations on those poor candies is better than therapy or Xanax.

Some people like to place the crushed candy canes on top. I like them stirred into the white chocolate layer. Regardless, there are a few variations to making peppermint bark.  It’s all pretty much the same – melt the chocolate, add mints.  Done.  Easy peezy!

I recommend keeping the peppermint bark in the refrigerator when you aren’t eating it.  I would also recommend not eating the entire batch yourself in one sitting.  I mean… well… yeah.
