This recipe is terrible! You will start eating it and never NEVER be able to stop. Once you run out, you will have to make... more. Purely evil!Read more

AWESOME...You must try this!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love peppermint bark but HATE how expensive it is to buy (as another reviewer mentioned). So...after searching for a recipe... I of course tried Paula Deen's!! This was awesome to make and incredible to eat. Everyone loves it...I made 2 batches, both with a milk chocolate layer first. I am the one in my family who does all the cooking and baking for the holidays and this year stumbled on a good tip: pop the bark (1st layer and then when complete) in your garage (attached) to harden. We have a stuffed fridge and a side-by-side so getting a cookie sheet in there is tough. But, I found that the milk chocolate layer didn't harden well until I took it in our cold midwestern garage. Enjoy!!Read more

Question
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My fridge is acting up - is it necessary to chill the candy or can it just sit to harden
