    Awesome! So easy to make. I've seen these at William Sonoma. But it's so simple to just make it yourself.

    I made these as gifts for Christmas, along with Giada's recipe for Lemon Ricotta cookies and Paula's Zuchinni bread. Wrapped them and put them in decorative gift boxes.

    Delicious and sophisticated looking gifts!

    SO easy and so festive! I will be making these for gifts at Christmas! I think you should add the peppermint oil for sure...

    Easy, easy, easy!! This is a delicious treat for the kids. We did not use extract and it turned out very yummy and with the appropriate consistency. This recipe added a special touch for the kids' Christmas. Thank you for the easy recipe:-

    This recipe had a very good flavor, but my bark came out a little dry. It was also way too thick. It came out like a brick. Will try again some time and thin it out more.

    This recipe was very simple and a great hit! I split it into 2 batches and used Ghiradelli white baking chips in both. I used a Godiva vanilla white chocolate bar in one and a Ghiradelli bar in the other, with 5 crushed candy canes in each batch. I also added about 1/2 tsp of Peppermint extract to each. One batch I added a handful of dried cranberries, the other sliced almonds. I drizzled milk chocolate on some as well. Thanks Paula!

    This was my first attempt to make any kind of chocolate bark. After a couple of tries, I learned something very useful. Some extracts have alcohol and other additives in them. If you don't use a pure extract oil, it will cause any chocolate to seize up and become a thick, grainy and unusable glob. Also adding a teaspoon or two of Crisco shortening to the melting chocolate gives the bark a more luxurious texture. I ended up adding only the crushed candy canes (got a lovely result using a food processor to the surface of the chocolate --- the final result was both beautiful and tasty. A great recipe to begin one's adventures into making bark candy!

    This is a fast and easy recipe for the holidays. I highly recommend adding the 1/2 tsp peppermint extract -- it doesn't overpower at all. I mixed half of the candy cane chunks into the chocolate before pouring, and sprinkled the remaining half on top for a pretty look.

    I made this recipe this year for Christmas gifts and everyone loved it. I recommend adding peppermint pieces and holiday nonpareils to the top before putting it into the refrigerator. It makes it very festive looking.
