Today I’m sharing a new twist on my my favorite Christmas munchie treat, I give you, White Chocolate Pretzel M&M Peppermint Bark Recipe! If you’ve been around a while, you’ve likely seen my Christmas Crunch recipe. It’s a simple, delicious treat to make for friends and neighbors around the holidays!
I’ve realized in the last year, that I prefer white chocolate above all other chocolates.
Isn’t it strange that it’s taken me 35 years to discover that? I like milk chocolate, but don’t care too much for the other dark stuff. In this phase of enlightenment and self discovery, I stockpiled the white chocolate Peppermint M&M’s after Christmas last year, and stuffed them in my freezer to enjoy all year. They are white chocolate peppermint heaven. I found myself frustrated trying to find that type of M&M around town, and it wasn’t until just recently that I realized, they only sell them at Target!! What?? Yep, see the sign here:
When I knew I wanted to change up my standard recipe, I grabbed a bunch of bags of this goodness, some pretzels, and some white almond bark. This end cap was found in the holiday baking section at Target
With just these 3, it is perfection, but I also decided to throw in some candy cane pieces, already crushed.
Here is a little visual step by step
Then, to package it up, I found this cute Glad winter containers, that are also only at Target! On the back of the packaging, is also suggestions for other holiday recipes.
I found one type of Glad holiday containers in the holiday section, then others in the section with sandwich bags, by the food. I tied a bow around the container, and it’s ready to deliver to friends!
