Mention Christmas Bark to a friend and it’s quite likely their faces will turn to question marks. Give a friend a piece of Christmas Bark, on the other hand, and it’s likely they’ll have a story to share.
This simple, age-old candy is a Christmas-time staple in many houses across the country. And every family seems to have their own, special name for it. I can fondly recall cracking into my mother’s peppermint bark and thinking there could simply be nothing better.
Over the years I’ve have come across many variations of this holiday classic. One recent find comes from Joan Crowe of Collierville, TN. She shared with us her recipe that includes cranberries and pistachios! Take a look at Joan’s version.
The simplicity of the candy allows for endless variation. Whether it’s peppermint, pistachio or something of your own invention, this is one candy worth trying. What variety are you?
