This Peppermint Cookie Bark might just be the sweet treat that hits the spot this holiday season!  Chocolate and peppermint with a crunch is a perfectly festive treat!

Peppermint Cookie Bark with livelaughrowe.com #peppermint #dessertI think holiday baking might be at the top of my favorites when it comes to this time of the year.  Some of the best cookie recipes, desserts and/or cakes that make my taste buds do a happy dance are prepared in December.  Whether it’s for the family or gifts for neighbors and friends, something sweet always seems to make everything a little bit brighter – right? {hee-hee}.

I’m always happy to find a dessert that doesn’t require hours of prep and labor (yes, I’m exaggerating a bit, but you know what I mean).  Well, guess what?  This Peppermint Cookie Bark is the golden ticket to easy holiday treats!  Why?  Well, you’ll see….

Mouthwatering Peppermint Cookie Bark via livelaughrowe.comSeeee….  Easy breezy!  It is on the sweet side, but it is irresistable!  You’re sure to impress your friends and family and satisy the sweet tooth that creeps up on us after dinner!  And there are so many different variables that you can make!  Like how about this one?  Caramel Chocolate Pecan Cookie Bark.  Oh. My. Goodness!

Caramel Chocolate Pecan Cookie Bark via livelaughrowe.comFor this recipe, you’ll simply use the caramel and chopped pecans instead of the crushed candy canes!  I drizzled the caramel over the pan after it was chilled — and on the plate for eating (nomnom).

Oh — my sweet friend Kristi is kicking off her 12 Days of Christmas series today and sharing a Rosemary Shortbread cookie recipe!  Be sure to swing by and say hello.

      Girrrrl! These are so incredibly good — and yes, those saltines get crunchy from the sugar and butter. Awesomesauce, that’s all I can say! HUGS.

    We’ve made these for many years in my fam!! Just thought about them earlier today in fact! Wild.
    We use brown sugar…you didn’t specify sugar type on your recipe so I wondered if you used something different?

      Hi Kerry! That is wild 🙂 I just used regular sugar. I’ll have to give it a try with the brown. Have a great week. Hugs.
