How To Make Christmas Bark recipes
To make the Christmas Peppermint Bark you will need a block of vanilla almond bark, candy canes, red & green M&M's and red and white candy melts.
All the ingredients can be found at Walmart.
You could skip the red and green candy melts if you like but the drizzle of the colored candy melts on top of the white almond bark help the crushed candy canes and M&M's stick to the top of the bark.
And makes it look so festive!
Once you have made the Christmas Peppermint Bark and it has hardened you can package it in Christmas Gift boxes.
Family and friends will love you forever!
