How many stars are there in the galaxy? When will Chinese Muslim food every make it over here in the U.S.? How many brownies are “too many”? (I recently figured this out. The answer is there aren’t too many, but I do need to take a 2 day break between feedings.) Which genius melted milk and white chocolate together, topped it with bits of candy cane, and called it peppermint bark? I remember tasting a square of Ghirardelli peppermint bark for the first time, and it felt like a tiny piece of heaven gradually melting away in my mouth. Of course, one square was not enough. It never is. Ever since I discovered how easy it was to make peppermint bark at home, I’ve whipped up a batch at least once every year. It is always a crowd pleaser. This year, I wanted to do something different, something with that funny popping corn. Initially, I was thinking about making a decadent caramel popcorn. But after a long visit to the dentist, I figured that I should probably lay off things that are overly sweet. I don’t want my dentist to be wagging her finger the next time she sees me. Then, I decided to drizzle tiny streams of chocolate on top of the popcorn. The dentist will approve of my decision. One of the benefits of making peppermint bark at home is that you can let out your day’s frustration as you crush the peppermint. And if you don’t have any frustration to let out, it’s just plain fun. To make this yummy Christmas party snack, here’s what you’ll need: What do you like to put in your peppermint bark?
