We started in on our holiday baking this week and I thought I'd share this kid friendly Peppermint Bark recipe. I'm sure many of you have made it, but if not, the kiddos adore it and it was a huge success even with all our little helping hands :).
All you need is:
1 bag of chocolate chips
1 bag of white chocolate chips
crushed candy canes
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Melt the chocolate chips, either on the stove or in the microwave, and pour on baking sheet. Put in fridge to harden. Melt the white chocolate, be careful cause it burns quicker than the regular chocolate for some reason (anyone know why???). Pull baking sheet out of the fridge and pour the white chocolate over the hard bottom layer of regular chocolate. Crush candy canes and sprinkle generously. Pop back in the fridge and let harden. Then break apart and serve!
I made a double batch thinking I would freeze some for our family gatherings next week, but I think we are going to have to make some more :).
We made some cookie cutter sugar cookies too, always a favorite around here. Next week we are diving into the Lemon Bars and Buckeyes. I LOVE Lemon Bars. I mean, really love them. And those recipes are so great to make and freeze.
So, that's it for now, make this if you haven't already!!

Please oh Please post your lemon square/bar recipe!!! They are my all time favourite too!
Mmm! Buckeyes! That's right, you're in Ohio, right? We'll be out your way a few days before Christmas. Out of curiosity, how far are you from the Pittsburgh, PA area?
We will have to try this. Wow! How easy!
I babysat 5 little ones all day yesterday (ages 4, 4, 5, 6, 7) ... added to my 4 youngest (ages 9, 10, 11, 13) ... and we had a lot of FUN decorating sugar cookies.
