NO-BAKE PEPPERMINT BARK COOKIES
Wednesday, 6 November 2019
Light and crispy chocolate wafers dipped in peppermint-infused white chocolate and then sprinked with crushed candy canes…..these are the ultimate holiday cookie. Easy to make No Bake Peppermint Bark Cookies are made with only four ingredients and no baking required. You will have trouble keeping these around.
The cookies I saw were completely drenched in smooth white chocolate, they were made from the same chocolate used for the famous Peppermint Bark everyone knows and loves. They looked to die for. I needed them immediately but didn’t feel like waiting two days for them to arrive. So, I raided the pantry and came up with this easy recipe anyone can make. Even an almost 4-year-old boy who has the attention span of a flea. Your kids will love helping with this one.
To make these No Bake Peppermint Bark Cookies, I used store bough Chocolate Melts and just threw them in the microwave for about a minute. Peppermint extract was added to the melted chocolate and then we dipped the wafer to coat. Sprinkle with the crushed candy canes and allow to cool on a wire rack. Does it get any easier than that? They taste exactly like a Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie…..I kid you not. And if you know how addicting the Thin Mints are, you know that these will not last long in your house.
