Today I have a super simple recipe for you. One that everyone will be sure to love. The best part about this recipe, is it only takes 5 ingredients. Five. Isn’t that awesome?

For me that’s great news. Do you get excited when you can make a recipe with very little ingredients? I get very excited. For me that means less clean up and less dishes to wash. I love it when I don’t have to wash a ton of dishes.

I have to tell you that I love this blogging job. I really do, but the dishes pile up so much that I start to stress about washing them. A lot of people don’t understand how much actually goes into a blog, but let me tell you that the dishes are the worst part.

But lucky for you, I love my readers and will keep doing them over and over. With that being said, this Peppermint Bark is a really easy recipe to make. The first time I made it I didn’t expect it to taste all that good.

I thought it would taste kind of blah. You see every year my grandma would always want us to buy her William Sonoma’s peppermint bark, so I was comparing the two. But let me tell you that this peppermint bark is fantastic and you’re going to love it.

My one advice I will give you, is get good chocolate. I used Ghirardelli white and semi-sweet chocolate for this recipe. Ghirardelli chocolates melt very well in the microwave and taste amazing. Plus it hardens up easily too. So grab some chocolate next time you’re at the store so you can make this Easy Peppermint Bark. Your guest will love the candy addition to your dessert table!
