Last year I made cake pops. This year I made dark and white chocolate peppermint bark and salted chocolate pecan toffee.
Barks are one of the easiest candies, OK THE easiest candy to make! I used a combination of chocolate chips and candy melts for both the dark and white chocolates. For the peppermint, I used candy canes and Andes Crushed Peppermint thins.
I used this recipe : Salted Chocolate Pecan Toffee
I love packaging things. For these, I used ceramic mini loaf pans I found at Michaels for $1. Put my candies in cello bags, then put them in the loaf pans:
Then I wrapped each in polka dot cellophane, and finished with gift tags I made from scraps from my Christmas cards. I used a holly wreath graphic from The Graphics Fairy as part of my labels.

You cannot go wrong with a form of bark. And it looks so good wrapped up in celophane!
