Peppermint bark recipe for Christmas.

Merry-Christmas-2014-from-Little-Big-BellI can’t believe it’s only 3 more days to Christmas. Pre christmas each year, I would make a festive sweet.

Last year, I made shortbread cookies with my son. This year I decided to make Candy cane peppermint bark.

They are delicious with coffee after your Christmas meal and great as a festive gift too.

1. Melt thick chunks of cooking Belgian white chocolate in the microwave for around 20-30 seconds.

2. Remove and stir.

3. Place the candy canes in a Ziplock bag and bash it to chunks with a rolling pin.

4. Mix the crumbled candy into the chocolate mixture but save some for later.

5.Line a pan with non-stick foil. Pour chocolate onto foil.

6. Scatter more of the broken candy on top. Place in fridge and this will solidify in 15-20 mins.

7. Remove and break chocolate up to desired sized chunks.

I must admit I did this at midnight and whilst I was bashing away at the candy, it did cross my mind that my neighbours may have thought someone was trying to break in. Apologies if you are my neighbour!

Peppermint-bark-as-a Christmas-present-Little-Big-BellHere’s one my son took as a gift for his best friend for a play date. Just add some fragrant rosemary sprigs and a gift tag.

Hope you’ve enjoyed this post. I will actually be swiftly back on Tuesday evening to show you some of my Christmas preparations. Have a lovely week! x
