If you’ve never made it before, you are in for a very pleasant surprise. This super easy recipe assembles quickly with minimal fuss.

Not surprisingly, the “secret” to outstanding peppermint bark is to use high-quality chocolate. If you cut corners by buying cheap chocolate — you will be disappointed with the taste.

If you prefer, you can use all dark or all white chocolate for this recipe. And trust me, they are both A-mazing! It’s all about which taste you prefer.
