on Nov 26, 2024 41 Comments Peppermint bark makes a much-loved addition to any Christmas cookie tray or candy platter. It also makes a thoughtful and festive gift! An impressive gift on its own, or add other favorite holiday candies like Divinity, Chocolate Truffles, and Peanut Butter Balls.

While that was a fun tradition, we love my homemade peppermint bark recipe much more – it’s delicious and fun to make, so we love making it at home every Christmas season!
