Peppermint Bark

The Williams Sonoma peppermint bark is legendary in my house. As soon as I would see the red and white tins on display it just felt like the holiday season was finally here.

Perhaps because I had been living in Canada for some time and Williams Sonoma landing as an anchor store up North was just a little reminder of home.

These tins were bought in bulk and often distributed as the holiday gift for many friends, staff, and colleagues.

Anyway, I wanted to be able to make something similar at home because those tins do go fast in stores and sometimes I just don’t happen to make it there as often as I used to.

Hope you enjoy!
