A mouthwatering peppermint bark recipe that is perfect to make together for a romantic date night in!
With the holidays, life can start to be and can be a little chaotic. Sometimes you just have to step away and find extra time to spend with your significant other. With us that can be a little tricky especially with traveling for the holidays – Thanksgiving and Christmas.
We still try to make it a priority in our busy and chaotic lives. Most of the time if we are not busy traveling to see friends and family this time of year, we always try to set aside Friday nights for just us. If it doesn’t happen to fall on a Friday, we try to make it the next available day. Every once in awhile we can find the time to grab something out; however, we love fixing a delicious dinner or a dessert together at home.
Now the other half might not be a good cook or a baker at all, but he does try and setting aside these nights really help him in the kitchen. Plus, it’s great bonding time.
Since last Thursday was Thanksgiving, we were still traveling from seeing my parents, so we can to set aside time for our date night on Sunday night. We came home with leftovers so we didn’t have to cook a meal, but we did make a delicious dessert. Perfect dessert for this time of year, too – peppermint bark.
This recipe is really easy for two people to do together, you can have one chopping the chocolate, white chocolate, and candy canes while the other is melting the chocolate. Once the chocolate is melted, you can one pour the melted chocolate onto the baking sheet and the other one can smooth it out. It’s really a perfect recipe to do together, since it requires a lot of hands on-time.
