Easy Microwave Peppermint Bark is the easiest candy recipe you will make this holiday season. How can anybody refuse anything to do with candy canes and chocolate. It’s simply the best way to celebrate Christmas! This no-fuss  candy is made in the microwave. Easy Microwave Peppermint Bark  can be made in less than 15 minutes. You really can’t beat that!

I love that you can throw it in the microwave and within minutes it is done and setting up on a baking sheet.  The trick to layering the chocolate without it melting everything together is to make sure that the milk chocolate layer is completely cooled and has hardened before you spread the white chocolate on top.

This bark, of course, makes the perfect teacher or neighbor gift! This recipe is easy enough that even the kids can help out.

With love from my kitchen to yours,
