So easy to make & absolutely delicious! Everyone asked for the recipe. Instead of 24 peppermint candies, I used 6 red, white, and green striped candy canes. I found that crushing them very finely makes it taste more pepperminty; some recipes call for peppermint oil, but this doesn't need it. I did push bigger pieces into the top. You may want to make a double batch if taking to a party.

This is tlike one of the kinds of candy my aunt makes for her delicious candy tray at Christmas and they are always the first to go! I've tried this recipe myself and it always tastes as good as the Christmas memories it brings!

GREAT!!!!I made this last night with my 3 and 10 year old. It was so easy and good. I took some to work and I have been asked by everyone for the recipe. The only problem I had was that my 10 yr old wouldn't give up the crushing (pounding) duties. I have to make another batch so my 3 yr old can crush the candy.

This tastes great and doesn't take long to make (a huge plus if you're making multiple desserts). It's a festive addition to any holiday plate.

Last Christmas I went into Williams and Sonoma and saw that they had a peppermint bark for sale. It tasted yummy but it was kind of pricey.......so I went looking for a recipe and found this one! I suggest you use more peppermint candies than are called for -- it will make it taste more like peppermint. This makes a great Christmas present -- put it in a pretty tin and wrap it with a ribbon! I should also add that I used chocolate squares and melted them over a double boiler instead of in the microwave. I find I have more control of the product that way. Enjoy.

On my first try the white morsels did not melt, but turned into hard clumps that had to be thrown away. I e-mailed Nestle for advice. I was told high wattage microwave should be set at only 50% and that 1-2 Tablespoons of vegetable oil added prior to melting will result in smoother, creamier melting. I added the oil and melted the chips in a double boiler for my second batch and it turned out great. Very smooth and easy to spread.

VERY easy and VERY yummy! I added a few drops of green food coloring to give it a holiday twist. Just be sure to quickly spread it out onto wax paper - mine started to harden up pretty quickly.
