- White chocolate bar
- Candy canes
- Mini twist pretzels (can also use regular sized twist or pretzel sticks)
What is peppermint bark?
Peppermint bark is a dessert typically sold around Christmas that has a base layer of dark chocolate, topped with white chocolate, then topped off with crushed candy cane. I’ve always loved peppermint bark, so I decided to do this twist on it, which I actually like even better!

Why does the recipe recommend dark chocolate?
I prefer dark chocolate with these peppermint bark pretzels because it balances out the sweetness of the white chocolate. But I know some people don’t like dark chocolate at all, so sub with milk chocolate if that’s the case!
Tips
- Choose Quality Chocolate: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality white chocolate.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative! Add sprinkles, nuts, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for a unique twist.
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If stacking in the container, use parchment paper between the layers to keep them from sticking together.
