Instructions for homemade peppermint bark:

5. Top the chocolate layer with the smashed candy cane pieces.
6. Put the cookie sheet into the freezer or let it sit on the counter until the chocolate sets.

Let’s talk about graham crackers!

Our favorite, honeygrams, (affiliate ad link)  are gluten-free and made by Schar. These NonGMO grams are simply perfect! They are tasty as a stand alone or with a recipe like this one! If you haven’t tried them yet, you are missing out. Side note: just think about how awesome Smores night will be with these!

Tips for Peppermint Bark:

• Use crushed up candy canes or peppermint candies
• Crush your candy in a resealable baggie and use a wooden rolling pin to smash the candy
• Line your lipped cookie sheet with parchment paper
• If you prefer milk chocolate or dark chocolate you can use those
• If you store your peppermint bark in the fridge, it should last 2-3 weeks.
• You can use MORE chocolate if you’d like your chocolate layer to be thicker!
