The day has come and I am relishing in the quiet before the storm. I have so much to prepare before everyone comes today, never mind spending my last Christmas morning in Ellington with my parents and brother before I move out next month! It will be a memorable and hectic day of gifts, food, desserts, music and laughter and I am excited!
On the table today will be these little babies--chocolate bars! These are not hard at all, anyone can do them and they make a great gift idea for coworkers or neighbors. All you need is chocolate, candies or pretzels or dried fruit for the inside and a mold! If you don't have a mold, spread the chocolate out on parchment paper in a baking tray but it will be messy to break apart later!
I went with peppermint bark and salted caramel bark with pretzels! Here is how I made the peppermint bark:
First break up your candy canes.
Then melt your chocolate!
Then pour into molds, add your candy and throw in the freezer for 10 minutes!
Easy gifts for all! And did I mention delicious!?
I hope everyone has a joyful and safe Christmas! Eat up and savor the moments!
