Peppermint Bark

By Hklbrries

"Gifts don’t get much sweeter than a box of homemade candy. Perfect for teachers, coaches and tutors, these gifts are a great way for you and your kids to say thank you. One stop at the supermarket will supply everything you need. Assemble bowls of ingredients on the table and let the kids go. Pack the finished confections in festive tins or boxes. The hardest part is not nibbling away at the goodies."
