Peppermint Bark - Laura Vitale - Laura in the Kitchen Episode 256 

Laura, my 5 year old daughter and I love watching your show! We've tried several of your recipes, and they've all been great! (especially the birthday confetti cake!)

I really enjoy when you made videos of you baking. Thank you so much for this great idea!

Wow, I never knew it was this easy. Thanks Laura, you're a gem!

I love this idea...simple but very elegant.

That candy is great, my first time earning it I fell in love with it and can’t stop eating it, now you showed me how to make oh my god “ I will be making this candy very soon!

its a holiday treat that everyone makes

It's so EASY but always a winner for the holidays!

Love this. I usually make bark with toasted almonds. This looks like a festive alternative!

I made this for my friends and they LOVE it ! They say it looks like i bought it from a store but I made it myself thanks to you Laura :DDDDDD

This whisk of Laura's NEVER gets old! :D

Can you please please please do a peppermint bark fudge recipe? I'll be your best friend!

Ugh I just absolutely love your accent. I think I'm going to make this for my church party(: I watch your videos all the time, keep up the great work Laura!!(:

Hi Laura! I made this yesterday and turned out great! I used white chocolate chip morsels and turned out perfectly! It just needs a minute and 300 seconds to get very creamy and just perfectly smooth! Thanks for the recipe!

Great video Laura :) Peppermint has always been my favourite Christmas flavour and I've always found those peppermint candies great for so many Christmas desserts. That classic candy cane flavour. I've been making this bark and taking it into the hospital where I work the last few days and everyone has been enjoying it with some hot chocolate in between shifts ... festive food makes work so much better lol 🎄🎄🎄

omg the dance!!! laura you're sucha cute chef i love you! and... you make me feel like i can cook anything i want with your simple recipes. thank you for being my inspiration!

"Mhh, so delicious" *doesn't take another bite* 😂😂😂

I made this with peppermint extract (or essence maybe) instead of candies and it is sooo heavenly.

I will definitely try this for Christman. I must also tell you that I used you turkey recipe and your gravy recipe for Thanksgiving, and it turned out wonderful. It went over well with the family, no left overs. Your recipes are great, keep them coming. Again thanks.

I actually tried this recipe today, and ended up burning my white chocolate in the microwave. So I took it, stirred it, and it became brown, HOWEVER, it was SO delicious, especially after adding the peppermint candies. When they harden, the bark has this smoky smores taste to it, so good

this is the very first recipe ive ever made from you and i made them for my moms co workers :)

i enjoy the video easy to follow with the quantity of the ingredients and the process

You're actually my hero! I have been waiting for a good recipe for AGES!

I tried these the other day, except with milk chocolate n they were delicious! Thanks laura

That was awesome! Great work, Laura.

I am forever more thankful that your making this ^^

I love this is so simple!

I know no one cares but just wanted to say this was uploaded on my birthday.

Hi Laura. I tried making it and it was really easy. Everyone loved it. In fact I even made it for my teachers 2 years in a row. Bye

Have decided to make a bunch of this and give it in cute boxes to family and friends ! Such a great treat to give :)

9 years ago img this brings back memories

"I hope you enjoyed spending time with me" OF COURSE I LOVE YOU LAURA XD

I just made this I'm 13 and it turned out terrific it is so good:)

you are my Favorite Chef Laura!!

that looks great laura thanks for sharing! def trying this

I love making bark for the holidays. It's delicious if you add chrushed Oreos and/or pretzels in it too.

Happy Birthday sweet girl!

I am going to try this recipe tonight! finally!

it taste so amazingly good and delish love you Laura

im going to make this and give it out for the holidays

It actually tastes amazing

love this recipe! I like to pour a thin layer of plain melted dark chocolate on the bottom first. Still looks pretty and tastes great.

I'm sooooo glad I found you love ya sooooo much

just made these for my classes chrismas party. there soo good and i used fruit flavoured candy canes and for those of you who wonder if you don't have white chocolate buttons (candy melts)

Most recipes for peppermint bark involve stacking the white chocolate with peppermint on a layer of milk/dark chocolate. You do this by melting the black chocolate, spreading it out, putting it in the freezer for 10-20 minutes, then pouring your layer of melted white chocolate with peppermints on top. Freeze it again, let it set, then cut it up into bark.

i learned that you can use a sieve to shake in the powdered candy (the ones that are too fine) into the white chocolate and you can keep the slightly larger pieces for the top of the peppermint bark

i just made this and it is soooo yummy. add a few teaspoons of vegeteble oil and it will make it shiny.

haha love the little dance at the end, so cute!

I made this for my daughters teacher as a Christmas present

i cooked these in my school cooking class and it was SOOO GOOD but i used chocolate and white chocolate together but it was still good

Like everyone else is saying... LOVE THE ENDING!!!!!!!

I love making this with any leftover candy canes after Christmas time. Just a simple way for me to use up all the candy canes I will surely have haha :D Great video!

so excited to make this!

i realy like the funny personality that you have you make me smile when i soo your face after teasting the food that you preper but i like watching you cooking you are my espiration ,keep it up my God bless you Laure :)

Why doesn't she have her own tv show yet ?? AMAZING

Yummy I have to make this for my family

haha the ending was precious!!! I always assumed peppermint bark was difficult to make -- could NOT be easier! I bet you could use the same method and use like, milk chocolate and mix in pretzels or something. Yummm

that looks so GOOD

I love this!!!!!!

yum, i have the same bowl with the peppermint in it!

u r my favorite chef!

You r one of a kind Laura :) luv ur videos !

@Kayakp I used candy canes 5 1/2 and it tastes good but you can use more or less depends on how much you like the minty flavor and the crunch

I wanted to order this from this really expensive chocolate place, but now I can just make it! :) Thank you so much!

Great holiday treat! I'm going to try these out for a holiday party I'm attending! Very excited. Btw cute ending lol

I'm gonna make this

I love peppermint and mint and can buy these items in walgreens.:DD

LOVE YOUR APRON!!

with a good coffee mmmmm yumiiii

I did this, but I took two candy canes, layed them down like... facing eachother so they're a heart-shape, then put the chocolate in the center and put some peppermint on top. greaaaat and cute!

YAY ! I WAS EXCITED WHEN I SAW THIS VID !

thank you!!!!

Nice vid, but I also use milk chocolate with the white and several drops of peppermint oil.

Gonna make this for a Christmas treat for my friends :D gonna make it look nice with a treat box I bought XD

haha LOVE the ending ;) You are the best, laura

I like to put a layer of pretty dark chocolate underneath. Still super easy, and it cuts the mega sweet of the white chocolate too :)

Yes you can

the kind that I make uses a bit of peppermint extract :> I also make a bottom layer of dark chocolate without any peppermint or extra things

I love this!!!! Im making these a a gift for my teachers!!! .....bootlicker...

you can get one at some kitchen supply stores, it's called a spiral whisk :)

i might make it today

sooo yummy!!!!

i love white chocolate too!!

At the very end i laughed so hard that i almost threw up my homemade PEPPERMINT BARK.

@superdiva333 Of course! Don't see why you can't, just use the double boiler method.

you should try pretzel sticks and caramel that comes as a playdough 1st make the caramel roll and strech it so i could wrapped around the pretzel stick as a snake has to be only half way wrapped 2nd use white chocolate disk and meld them 3rd dip the caramel pretzel inside the chocolate till it covers the caramel and bon appetite
