Peppermint bark is a classic holiday treat that has been enjoyed for many years. It is believed to have originated in the United States in the early 1900s, around the time that peppermint candy canes became a popular holiday tradition. The first versions of peppermint bark likely consisted of simple layers of dark chocolate and peppermint candy, but over time, the recipe has evolved to include white chocolate and a variety of toppings. Today, peppermint bark can be found in many different forms, from traditional chocolate and peppermint layers to creative variations with added flavors and textures. We love the added crunch of the Vanilla Chocolate Chip Granola for extra sweet and salty bites and the hints of vanilla.
