Peppermint Ice Bark Recipe

Peppermint Bark Recipe: Your Shortcut to Holiday Hero Status

Looking for a super easy, crowd-pleasing treat that practically shouts “holiday cheer”? Say hello to Peppermint Bark — the sweet, minty classic that’s as fun to make as it is to share. This version is a total breeze and perfect for gifting, snacking, or stealing the show at your next cookie swap. All you need is a couple of key ingredients and a half hour of chill time (literally!).

Ingredients

• 2 lbs. Merckens White Confectionery Coatings
• 8 ounces of Peppermint Ice

Instructions

1. Melt the white coatings until smooth. Our recommended method is in the microwave, but you can also do this in a double boiler if you prefer.
2. Stir in the peppermint ice until evenly mixed.
3. Spread the mixture onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet in an even layer, creating "bark".
4. Pop the tray into the fridge and chill for 15-30 minutes, or until fully set. Timing will be dependent on the thickness of your bark; thicker will result in a longer set time.
5. Once firm, break the bark into rustic, shareable pieces.
6. Package it up for gifts, party trays, or your personal snack stash. Just try not to eat it all at once!

Bonus: This simple recipe makes you the official Christmas Hero. Cape not included.
