A Mean Bark - Run DMT

Leslie of The Hungry Housewife has told me repeatedly how easy it is to make peppermint bark. This year, I decided to give it a shot after refusing to take out a loan to purchase Williams-Sonoma’s lovely stash or waiting for it to be marked down. After all, I need to brag about eating peppermint bark to Karen for our Friday Food Fight and I can’t wait for it to go on clearance to do it.

So, I decided to follow Leslie’s advice and her recipe and I made my own batch of peppermint bark. It really was so easy and soooooooo good. It even passed Iron Chef Allan’s taste test.

Look! I even put it in a fancy tin!

I’m taking orders, if you’d like some. It will cost you $26.50, plus $4.95 shipping and handling.

Link up and see what Karen and Kirsten are serving for this week’s Friday Food Fight.

Well, yum! You did such a great job recreating the tin, too. 🙂

I’d heard so much about this. I’d love to try it sometime. Maybe like you, I’ll even try my own hand at it.

It looks yummy!

I’ve never considered making my own peppermint bark before seeing yours. WS is one of my favorite places but I think I’ll find some pretty tins of my own to fill with some of these budget friendly goodies.

How have I never heard of this before!! That looks amazing . . . and the tin is just fabulous (I have a bit of a thing for gorgeous homeware).

I would love to try it but I’m not sure how customs would feel bout it :-)!

Oh that looks tasty.

We have a problem with crushing peppermint here..it gets all sticky and gooey. Maybe I’ll have to order some from you…after it goes on sale!

I make my peppermint bark with crushed oreos as the base. I think I may just have to add them to some melted chocolate. Even yummier! 😉
