We love to make bark - it's so easy and fun, and there are so many variations and possibilities. And it always taste so good! We started, way back when, with classic peppermint bark, and wanted to make a fresh batch for this Christmas. I did it with milk chocolate, because I had another idea for add-ins for the white chocolate...
We started by crushing the candy canes as best we could with a rolling pin.
And when we'd been in Australia back in October, I'd seen some Christmas coloured M&M's and just had to buy them. I had felt they would come in handy for something around about December-time, and this seemed the perfect use for them.
Add in some candy snowflakes, pop it in the fridge for a few hours and crush it up a bit, and Christmas 2014 peppermint bark was born!
Then it was time to try out that new idea I had - strawberry Oreo bark... We had seen some Strawberry candy canes and bought them specifically for Mini-2, as she isn't keen on mint at all. Once they were crushed, we added in some crushed mini Oreo's to the mix.
I added some holly and Christmas tree sprinkles and popped this tray in the fridge too.
Cracked up and popped in a tin lined with baking paper and this new version of bark was ready for dessert too. Merry Christmas one and all
