Chocolate Peppermint Bark! This is the easiest holiday treat and it’s a lot healthier than some other holiday desserts out there. It takes 5 minutes to make and it feels so festive! This makes for a great homemade gift or it’s perfect to have around the house when you want a sweet treat :) You can also just melt dark chocolate chips, spread it on parchment paper and top it with whatever you like. I love topping it with toasted coconut or pistachios, dried cherries, and sea salt. YUM.
Ingredients:
1 cup dark chocolate chips
