Do you get excited about the flavors of the holiday season? I know I do. Peppermint is the one I probably look forward to the most. Something about peppermint just yells out Christmas to me! While shopping I found a delicious holiday variety of M&M’s. M&M’s White Chocolate Peppermint Candy… only available at Target!

Have you discovered them yet?

M&M’s White Chocolate Peppermint Candy Bark

Not only did Colby and I have to pick up a couple of bags of the M&M’s White Chocolate Peppermint Candy, we even did some baking with the girls. Inspired by the wintry peppermint flavor, we decided we had not bad a holiday candy bark in a while.

The girls love coming up with ideas for the bark and it is super easy to make with them.

Spending time in the kitchen with them is not only important to their well-being, but for my own as well.

White Chocolate Peppermint Candy Bark

As we started gathering the ingredients we wanted for our White Chocolate Peppermint Candy Bark, the main ingredient being our new M&M’s of course, the girls could not pass up the Oreos.

But, in order to not really cover up much of the sweet peppermint flavor of the candy, they chose pretzels and nothing else. This was enough to make sure the bold flavor of the peppermint flavor was the main burst of satisfaction upon biting into the bark.

We pulled out our ingredients and got right to work.

Ingredients:

  • M&M’s White Chocolate Peppermint Candy
  • Oreo Cookies (cookies only, no middle… crushed)
  • Pretzel Sticks (broken)
  • Almond Bark

Directions:

  1. Pour crushed cookies onto parchment paper into a square shape.
  2. Cover with M&M’s and broken pretzels.
  3. Melt Almond Bark per package instructions. Pour over dry ingredients. Smooth out.
  4. Add another layer of M&M’s and broken pretzels to top.
  5. Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  6. Once set, break bark into small pieces and serve. Enjoy!

See what I mean? Super easy. The girls were able to make it all on their own and it turned out delicious!

Plus, when we grabbed Glad Holiday Storage containers (also only at Target) to share with our neighbors, we found another recipe with the M&M’s White Chocolate Peppermint Candy to try.
