Hi Crafty Nest readers my name is Crystal from A Pumpkin and a Princess. On my blog I share my passion for crafting, baking, sewing, and diy projects. I’m really excited to be a part of the 12 days of Christmas. Thanks for having me, Vanessa!
Today I want to share with you my peppermint bark recipe. It’s my favorite holiday treat and so easy to make. This makes a perfect holiday gift because you can make large batches of it to give to friends and neighbors in very little time.

Candy canes
1-2 drops of peppermint extract (optional)
Directions
Step 1:Melt your semi-sweet chocolate chips over a double boiler.
