There is something special about white chocolate and peppermint. It’s obviously my favorite combo of peppermint (you shall see soon!!) even though I enjoy the occasional peppermint mocha, white chocolate is where it is for me!! To start off with these two this year, I focused on a snack/ hangout food/ midday break type of food! Can you tell this white chocolate peppermint nut bark has been popular?

As the holiday season fast approaches and families gather, snacks and bite-sized treats are the hardest part of entertaining for me. I always focus on the main players (turkey, roast chicken, sweet potatoes) and dessert. But I forget what people can snack on before and in between meals. I’ve been using a bowl of nuts to get people along. So easy and entertaining made easy. However, this year, I am taking things to a different level. This white chocolate peppermint nut bark will be sitting next to my bowl of mixed nuts from Mr Peanut as a sweet option.

This white chocolate peppermint bark is made with high quality white chocolate, peppermint extract, candy canes and topped with a variety of nuts! I love the combination of both sweet and salty crunchiness going on in these easy to make barks. My labmates have been snacking on them during the dreaded 3-4 pm sugar low and just love the flavors in the barks. I am sure you will too so try making these and keeping them in stock as you have guests visiting this long weekend!

Wishing you all a Happy early Thanksgiving. Have a safe long weekend!
