I have been tempted to try a homemade version but my thing is I don't know (or want to) temper the chocolate but I really want to keep the bark at room temperature. Also, don't you find peppermint candy always "sweats" when covered either in fridge or at room temperature. They must spray the candy with something to keep it so dry!

It may end up being the cake I make for my hubby's bday since he's a choco mint lover :) That peppermint bark really is the best, isn't it? i make it homemade every year and it's super easy and comes out great, so you should give it a try some time.Amy @ Elephant Eatshttp://www.elephanteats.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6628445235517647413.post-85482095302326357812013-12-23T21:00:08.961-05:002013-12-23T21:00:08.961-05:00You are my kind of lady, Christin! : ) You are my kind of lady, Christin! : ) Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439320856223502707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6628445235517647413.post-9883580690137613712013-12-23T20:59:48.852-05:002013-12-23T20:59:48.852-05:00I can't seem to get enough of chocolate and co...I can't seem to get enough of chocolate and cookies and treats this holiday season! : ) I wouldn't mind another slice, too, though I just had almond cookies and half a chocolate yogurt snack cake already for dessert!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439320856223502707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6628445235517647413.post-32640696901785455182013-12-23T12:06:22.186-05:002013-12-23T12:06:22.186-05:00Your cake looks insanely chocolaty and moist My ki...Your cake looks insanely chocolaty and moist My kind of cake!Christin@SpicySouthernKitchenhttp://www.spicysouthernkitchen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6628445235517647413.post-41864405646326926452013-12-23T11:48:41.785-05:002013-12-23T11:48:41.785-05:00I think I need a piece of this right now!I think I need a piece of this right now!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00118565239067565343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6628445235517647413.post-25119176218252023782013-12-22T06:44:45.057-05:002013-12-22T06:44:45.057-05:00It is like that! : ) Thanks, Bianca...you have a...It is like that! : ) Thanks, Bianca...you have a great holiday and New Year!!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439320856223502707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6628445235517647413.post-4845765849055389452013-12-22T06:44:16.542-05:002013-12-22T06:44:16.542-05:00It's never too late to do it! ; ) Thanks and...It's never too late to do it! ; ) Thanks and have a very Merry Christmas and great New Year!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439320856223502707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6628445235517647413.post-12598401370786806452013-12-21T23:22:07.826-05:002013-12-21T23:22:07.826-05:00Peppermint brownie truffle in cake form sounds ama...Peppermint brownie truffle in cake form sounds amazing.
