Chocolate. Who doesn't like chocolate? It is always a favorite around here. One of the easiest treats we create is Peppermint bark. It only requires two ingredients (unless you are layering different kinds of chocolate) and I can pretty much leave it to the four-year-old to make with a little supervision. And because it involves destruction AND creation he loves it.
First take all of your peppermint candies out of their packages and add put them into a large freezer bag (we used candy canes because, well, they're everywhere right now)
Now comes the best part....Smash them! We use a rolling pin to make sure that we get them all.
The youngest could do this all day. After they are crushed to your liking, line a pan or casserole dish with wax paper and pour them in.
Spread them out as even as possible.
Now melt your chocolate. Since there are various ways to go about this depending on the type/brand of chocolate, I'll leave it to you to check into the best way.
After your chocolate is melted, pour it in.
Smooth it out.
Chill
Break and eat
It doesn't last long, but at least it's easy to make. (And you can probably get your kids to make it for you!)
